Yes, that is true ... some of us helped to shape it. Unfortunately,
there was also a wide variety of names: "OpenOffice.org", "OpenOffice",
"Openoffice", "Open Office" "Open-Office" :-)

Concerning the branding discussion, here is the page (in progress, but
the name stuff is already put in place - the linked blog posting might
be interesting):

True! I hope that anybody looking for "Libre Office" will be able to
find it (currently: Google, third hit is our page). I don't know if
somebody put some effort in search engine optimization already ... the
source-code of our intermediate website doesn't reveal anything special.
But this something up to the experts (which doesn't include myself *g*).

But, since we had to agree to something as a trademark, it really helps
to communicate a consistent name to the public.

Cheers,
Christoph
