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

Carbon Maps
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!
Lief Maps
- after explorer Lief Erickson
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 ;)

Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)
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... 🤔
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
CoCoMaps (community + collaboration)
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.
@CubeOfCheese WayNow
"There is freedom within, there is freedom without"
"Don’t dream it’s over"
Seems appropriate for an Organic Maps fork 😄
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.
Mappa
Unfortunately there seems to be a number of existing software with this name.

Origami Maps
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).

Moo Maps
Based on @[email protected] '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.
In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:
Free Range Maps
Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?
Common Maps
Open Planet
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.
