According to Juliet in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," she believes that "What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." In this famous quote, Juliet argues that a name is not essential to one's identity and that Romeo's name, Montague, should not prevent their love and marriage. She states that it is the Montague name that is her only enemy and not Romeo himself.
