Acronyms / nicknames / shortcuts are rarely at the discretion of the one being named. If the "O" in LibreOffice had been lowercase, then there /may/ have been a chance to prevent this, but that is long past now. People will shorten it as they can e.g., "LO", "LibO", LibreO", "LOffice", etc. Charles-H. Schulz wrote > Now you will tell me that it is easier to type LO than it is with > LibreOffice. Perhaps. But everyone here writes MS Office... OOo for OpenOffice.org, AOO for Apache OpenOffice, LO for LibreOffice, MSO for Microsoft Office are all acronyms I use, here on the mailing lists, at the AskLO site, and at the original support forum. Even the source code is filled with "lo" and "LO" (e.g., LO4Android) for the same reason. I am not meaning to be antagonistic by stating this, I am just presenting facts. What you are asking is akin to suggesting people refrain from using "MS" for Microsoft or "FB" for Facebook. The chance of success would seem improbably low.
