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.

Name collisions are okay if they are not in competing industries. That's why you can have Apple computers. No one is going to confuse that trademark for an apple orchard company because it's a completely different industry. In this case though, it looks like that other project is also related to mapping
