When Romeo overhears Juliet talking on the balcony, Juliet sighs:  “What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,/Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name/Belonging to a man./What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell as sweet.”
In saying this, Juliet means that...

• Montague is an unimportant name in Verona.
• Romeo should take her last name when they marry.
• A name does not change what you are. 
• it is wrong to fall in love with a Montague.
