I was thinking of it as a play on the word "free" in french before the word Stock...

    Gratis - Free as in Beer
    Libre - Free as in Speech

But if they're public domain, the are free as in speech. You can modify the images any way you like and then do whatever with the result.

Something else with a hilariously goofy name that will limit its potential.

I think they're referring to the fact that you using the word "stock" in your name is a bad thing. I.e. searching for GratisStock just like LibreStock both yield search results that take me to the "big" stock-image sites, with the keyword being search. I.e. Stock images for keyword Libre, and Stock images for keyword Gratis.

Hopefully it changes if your site picks up steam.

I literally couldn't find a better name that wasn't taken or meaningless, open to suggestions

LibreStock makes sense. I read it as "Libre de droits".
