I like the idea, it could be an idea, above all to achieve more personality. AFAIK, currently LIbreOffice could be considered simply a "clone" of OOo, only with some cosmetic changes. Starting form the base, OOo, LIbò should become an autonomous, unique software being, and the names are very, very important.
