In Romeo and Juliet, after Juliet learns that Romeo is a member of her family’s sworn enemy, she laments, “What's in a name? that which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet” (2.1.47-49). Juliet reveals her inner feelings that family names do not matter because she says that roses would smell just as sweet if they were called something else. I believe that she is implying that Romeo, albeit a Montague, would be just as lovely to her if he had a different family name.
The analysis is incorrect, Juliet is actually talking about a rose in a garden, not her family name
