Question

1. when juliet says, that which we call a rose / by any other word would smell as sweet, what does she mean? do names matter in our lives? if you had a different first name, do you think you might have grown up to be a slightly different person?

Explanation:

In the quote from Juliet, she means that the name of a thing does not define its essence. A rose would still have its sweet - smell regardless of the name given to it. Regarding names in our lives, while they can have some influence through first - impressions and associations, they do not completely determine who we are. A different first name might have led to some minor differences in how others perceive and interact with us, but it is unlikely to make us a completely different person as our core personality is shaped by many factors like upbringing, experiences, and genetics.

Answer:

Juliet means the name of a thing does not define its essence. Names may have some influence but are unlikely to make us a completely different person.
