@CubeOfCheese YaMap (Yet Another Map App)
Ren Maps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren_(philosophy)
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).
Folk Maps
Cartogrity (Cartography + Community)
Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)
LibreMaps
Lief Maps

after explorer Lief Erickson
OurMaps

@CubeOfCheese
CoCoMaps (community + collaboration)
Common Maps
In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:

Free Range Maps
Open Planet
Maple
Orgasmic Maps
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.
Origami Maps
Comdrima
Community Maps (spelled out)
Plaid Maps
Roam / ROAM / Roam Maps / Roam Atlas / Roam App

FOSS Maps
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]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cartographers
Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?
MOSS / Moss Maps (like FOSS but natural)
My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.

@CubeOfCheese
Local Maps

In Vivo Maps

Alchemaps
~~Social Street Maps~~

I feel like it should be something that rolls off the tongue. Something easy to search and not awkward to recommend irl. Sucks because Organic Maps was pretty good in both those cases
