[Juliet] O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name
or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

(...)

Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thy self, though nor a Montague!
Oh be some other name! What's Montague?
It's nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face
nor any part belonging a man.
What's in a name? Wich that we call a rose
with any other name, would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called
retain that dear perfection wich he owes
without that title. Romeo, dofff thy name
and for thy name that is nor part of thee,
take all myself.

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
