She is referred to throughout the script as "Nurse". Some people have become interested in this section of Act 4 Scene 4
Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse
Lady: Hold, take these keys and fetch more spices, nurse.
Nurse: They call for dates and quinces in the pastry
Enter Capulet
Capulet: Come, stir, stir, stir. The second cock hath crowed,
The curfew bell hath wrung, 'tis three o'clock.
Look to the baked meats, good Angelica
Spare not for cost.
Nurse: Go, you cot-quean go,
Get you to bed!
From this some people have deduced that the Nurse's name is Angelica. But she is not the only woman on stage that Capulet could be addressing; he could be talking to Lady Capulet. Her name is not elsewhere given and it is more likely that Capulet would address her by her given name than the Nurse. Indeed in the First Quarto, he responds to the Nurse's "Go you cot-quean go" with the line "I warrant thee Nurse I have ere now watched all night, and have taken no harm at all". It seems strange that he would call her Angelica in one line and Nurse in the next, which makes it seem more likely that the name is Lady Capulet's.
