My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.

RootMaps
Alchemaps
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.
When you search for "Gentoo", you sometimes get results for a real estate company with the same name. Name collisions are nothing to fear about, unless the name is a registeted trademark in multiple countries.
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 ;)
Common Maps
Mappa
Like Cuppa for a cup of tea
Mappa is also italian for map. People of saints, poets and navigators, says the saying
Edited the original comment to comply with the rules. Cut 'n' paste of reasoning:
It's the Latin word for map, at least according to Google, and there doesn't appear to be any similar entities using the name, just a Japanese animation studio.
It also rolls nicely off the tongue. "Have you checked on Mappa?"
In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:
Free Range Maps
Community Maps (spelled out)
Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.
FOSS Maps
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.
I like this a lot. My only fear is that Fintech suing the project. Not that it would have merit - completely different industries, after all - but just proving that could kill the project or force another name change.
Orgasmic Maps
~~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
Some of these are existing, can you split out your favorites into top-level comments and upvote those that already exist?
