"What's in a name?"

In the midst of a forbidden love, "What's in a name?" once proclaimed Juliet "That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet," continued her.

Pardon me to disagree, but name, Ms Capulet, means everything.

Name is pride, Ms Capulet. Can you just bear as equal pride should you pretend other name as yours?

Name is prayer, Ms Capulet, the prayer that parents sought to be bestowed to us by God Himself.

Name is reputation, Ms Capulet. As acknowledgement famed, hearing you by the name would just awe bystanders.

Name is symbol, Ms Capulet. By which other attribute would others recognise you but by the name?

Didn't you comprehend, Ms Capulet? By any other name, your beloved would still be a foe to your family.

Behold, Ms Capulet, the names of yours and your beloved, they are well-remembered as an everlasting insignia of the fervency of love.
