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]

Males me think of Jacques Cartier whose surname sounds like Cartes (French for map).

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

I'm not sure what you mean by that

Edit: typo

After the migratory bird the woodland kingfisher. Bonus mascot! I've searched and didn't find a name clash with another website/software.

~~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

In Vivo Maps

The one that lives within or is in the living. It's alive in all of us (the community) and the other way around: our contributions live within the app and OSM. Also, its supposed to be the fork that lives on. I think this would be a subtle nudge without carrying a scarred name like phoenix/revival with the project forever.
