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.

Could you split it up so that it's one name per comment please? To make voting easier

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure thing! I have the split the options into multiple comments.

Carbon Maps

[–] Pleat1752@feddit.uk 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

A play on organic meaning carbon-based (as in organic chemistry). Also I feel like it should be easy(ish) for speakers of other languages to pronounce. I may be wrong though!

Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)

[–] contrapunctus@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's not bad, but

There might be too many projects named "Delta ___". (...I'm guessing. I can really only think of Delta Chat.)
Is being a fork the only identity of this project? I would rather the name reflect other characteristics... 🤔

I liked your suggestion quite a lot and came up with alternative based on it (the two words staying the same):

CartoUnity

CoCoMaps (community + collaboration)

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.

Lief Maps

after explorer Lief Erickson

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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 ;)

[–] CubeOfCheese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait I think I like this better

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 4 weeks ago

It's neat, but would cause confusion with https://leafmap.org/

There's MapLibre - a fork of Mapbox before it went full commercial

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Also http://libremap.org/ and https://github.com/libremap/ (different projects as far as I can tell, one of them dormant).

Moo Maps

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 4 weeks ago

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]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cartographers

[–] metehan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Under the 15th century heading, "Piri", the cartographer who prepared the top map among the sample maps shown there, would be a good name.

Or maybe, "Orbis" and "Battista" under the 16th century heading.

So Piri Maps, Orbis Maps, Battista Maps, etc.

MOSS / Moss Maps (like FOSS but natural)
