The name was voted by the community. There were a lot of very good names that unfortunately were already being used by other projects. I'm not a fan of the final choice either.

When you hold a vote you get suggestions like Mappy mcmapface. Actually, that could work....

And, It’s not even unique.

On the iOS App Store, for example, there is:

  • MyCOMAP
  • COMAP
  • ComAp Helpcentre
  • MYCOMAP BALANCING
  • and two apps from a company named COMAP S.A.

Yes, it was pointed out that CoMaps was also the name of a business operating in... maps. So if the project gets traction, they'll likely be sued into a better name.
