6 And he established them forever and ever he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away. Romeo, take off your name and in exchange for that whole name, which is not really a part of what you are, you can have all of me.ġ Praise the Lord ! Praise the Lord from the heavens praise him in the heights! 2 Praise him, all his angels praise him, all his hosts! 3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! 4 Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord ! For he commanded and they were created. So Romeo would still have all the perfection that he has, even if he were not called Romeo. What is so special about a name? A rose, even if it were called something else, would smell just as sweet. What’s ‘Montague’? It isn’t hand or foot or arm or face or any other part belonging to a man. You are what you are, even though you may be a Montague. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” Juliet knows that the blood feud prevents her from loving a Montague. So with Romeo he would still be the same beautiful young man even if he had a different name. If the rose had any other name it would still be the same. She’s complaining that his name is meaningless. If he had any other name it would be fine. Juliet is not allowed to associate with Romeo because he is a Montague.
