Keep CoMaps.
I like this name: it's cute, short and memorable. I also like that 'co-' can have multiple meanings (cooperation, coexisting, community, carbon monoxyde).

A quick search for comaps shows a couple different projects already using that name. comaps.de is some kind of map visualization. Using the comaps name could lead to some confusion.
Folk Maps
I like folk maps, really gives the correct community/citizen cartography vibe
+1 Folk Maps
Collective Maps
Could you split it up so that it's one name per comment please? To make voting easier
Cartogrity (Cartography + Community)
I liked your suggestion quite a lot and came up with alternative based on it (the two words staying the same):
CartoUnity
LibreMaps
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.
There's MapLibre - a fork of Mapbox before it went full commercial
Also http://libremap.org/ and https://github.com/libremap/ (different projects as far as I can tell, one of them dormant).
Lief Maps
Alternate spelling of Leaf Maps as well (since most people will mis-hear and type the English word rather than the name) and maybe a leafy Lief is the mascot ;)
CoCoMaps (community + collaboration)
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.
Common Maps
In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:
Free Range Maps
Open Planet
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.
I'll duplicate it here
Pastk said: cOSMaps (co-OSM-maps) COSMOS Maps (Co-OSM-OpenSource)
And some ideas with the help of AI: COLABMAP (Collaborative Open Libre Access Based Mapping Application Platform) **COMMAP **Community Oriented Modern Mapping Access Project
to be honest, no word makes me completely satisfied.
Orgasmic Maps
Comdrima
For some reason It sounds like some obscure linux distro from the 90s
Plaid Maps
Reasoning:
Plaid patterns kinda look like a city street grid.
Plaid clothing/flannels is often worn by and associated with people who would buy organic, or are 'earthy' (see: Vermont Flannel)
This interesting thread.
Potential cons:
Could be confused with the Plaid Bank Linking App.
Moo Maps
Based on @LilDumpy@lemmy.world 's great suggestion, I thought of the slogan "Grass-fed, free-range, organic, and community-powered maps". And of course a cow for a mascot.
I think we can choose the name of a famous cartographer whose name is easy to pronounce in any language.
And then,
[Cartographer Name] + ["Maps" in your language]
Origami Maps
FOSS Maps
Kingfisher Maps
Edit: typo
After the migratory bird the woodland kingfisher. Bonus mascot! I've searched and didn't find a name clash with another website/software.
Map Again
