So what? The "Open" in OpenOffice.org means nothing to most people, who
have never heard of "open source" or "open standards" or "open" anything
else. It conveys no meaning at all. If I explain, people don't care,
don't understand why they should care, and lose interest.

OTOH, if someone asks what "LibreOffice" means, it's easy: "Libre means
free, as in liberty or freedom." That is something people can understand
and relate to.
