Doesn't the vowel for e in "neural" match the e in in Nerf?

Yes, the vowel matches, but you could imagine the original authors had chosen NRF, pronounced "en ar eff". But the fact that the e from Neural was there, and the word nerf was there, just a perfect alignment.

TIL some people pronounce "neural" as /nɝəl/ (ner-al) instead of /njʊɹəl/ (new-ral).
