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!

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”).

Hint of paradox?
