What dialects would have the most difficulty? Is it the 'L', or the 'BR'?

Would LibOffice be better or about the same?

How about LibaOffice or LireOffice? (I know both 'li' and 'ba' or 're' are chinese syllables that can be written in pinyin.)

Even if they can't change, maybe there could be an official alt-name for native Asian-language speakers.

its the "BRE".

LibOffice would be infinitely better in terms of pronounciation.

...then that just sounds like its a library of word processing and spreadsheet utilities that exposes nothing buy an API.

Not that anyone who would use the root and assume is a library wouldn't already know better, but just sayin :)
