Hey thanks for the PR but actually it is not a typo and is done on purpose to comply with licensing. Particularly SIL Open Font License (OFL).

Some fonts have parts of their name 'reserved', Fira for example: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/src/unpatched-fonts/FiraCode/LICENSE.txt
In particular this part:

No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
presented to the users.

This is probably not very clear in the readme and is not explicitly mentioned in the FAQ either.

Feel free to submit a PR that might clarify the name changes or feel free to contribute the FAQ 😄
