O Romeo Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

One of the most misunderstood lines in literature. She's not asking WHERE he is - but WHY he is called Romeo Montague and, thus, not a suitable partner for her, a Capulet.
 
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but my sworn love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

There's the rest or your lines.
 
all i remember from that part is: Deny thy name and refuse thy father. And if that will not take all my own (or something like that). A roses by any other name will smell as sweet.
