Funny story about New Relic: The name is an anagram of the CEO's, "Lew Cirne". Not sure if that's widely known, but he just used it as a placeholder while working as an entrepreneur in residence at a VC fund for his next project, and it stuck.
Sorry, cannot edit original comment. As an ESL I fell into a classic “false friends” trap. I meant “paradox”, not a “controversy” (that in English usually means something akin to “bad rep”).

FWIW I think New Relic is an awesome name. It has rhythm and slight hint of controversy to it.
I'll be honest, I have no idea what a "hint of controversy" is supposed to mean in this context.
Probably the juxtaposition of terms New and "Relic" when relics are supposed to be ancient objects.
“New Relic” describes most code committed in the last week!

Hint of paradox?
