It does for me. It's a portmanteau of voxel and libre wit the last l of the first word and first l of the 2nd word shared. If you don't pause at the caps and just roll straight through. It rolls just fine and is rather clever.
I think Libre in general is an awkward sound for me
Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.
voxe-lee-bruh
This is how I always sounded it in my head. Issue is, it sounds exactly like "libra"
Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.
In Spanish it would be lee-bray
As a Spanish speaker, this makes me uncomfortable. Not saying you're wrong, just... English is weird
Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?
I don't know, I'm not a native English speaker.
Why? Most people's last names are more cumbersome.
I've not heard it pronounced, but it seems some here are verbalizing it as lee-bruh. In my head it's always been lee-bree which is just an awkward pair of syllables.
Vox-libre
