The new name sucks, but so did "OpenOffice.org" (at least going by the Ubuntu package names, they insisted on the .org being part of the name).

At least OpenOffice was something you could pronounce.
The trick is to insert a glottal stop between Libre and Office.

They insisted on the .org because it is a legal issue. From Wikipedia,
> The project and software are commonly known as OpenOffice, but this term is a trademark held by a company in the Netherlands co-founded by Wouter Hanegraaff and is also in use by Orange UK,[8] requiring the project to adopt OpenOffice.org as its formal name.[9]

At least it's better than go-oo.org.
