..он был назван Новым не случайно...

[ОлькА]

можно ли перевести это дело так:
..it is no coincidence that it was named such a name...
перед этим в контексте было уже сказано,
что он был назван Новым

[Svetlanchik]

Perhaps, not named, but has got. Но этот вариант тоже не идеален. Решайте сами.

[Usher]

named a name - так не говорят

he did not get this name for nothing

[ОлькА]

[SH2]

Это про Новый год?

[Аристарх]

"Не случайно" лучше переводить
it is no accident/not accidental
that is why
for a reason
В зависимости от контекста
Но для адекватного перевода Вашей фразы, дайте, пожалуйста, более широкий этот самый контекст

[d.]

[V]

d, для сведения - двойного отрицания тут нет

d.
double negative here is fine. its an accepted construction in english.

V, gogo, come on, it was a joke, a part of the jocular style guide, where each rule is illustrated by a a sentence that contains a violation of the rule itself - like "And do not start sentences with conjunctions". "I told you a million times not to exaggerate". etc.
