You cannot normally identify a scene in a Shakespeare play with just the scene number. There are a number of scenes in every play which are called "scene 3", often as many as five different ones. In Romeo and Juliet the nurse comes looking for Romeo in Act III Scene 3, in order to deliver a message from Juliet and a ring. She is in Act I Scene 3 and Act IV Scene 3 as well, but is not looking for Romeo.
Juliet has just said she loves him but hates his name. Naturally he is reluctant to reveal his name to her.
Juliet
At the beginning of the play before seeing Juliette, Romeo is in love with Rosaline.
Juliet says this line to Romeo in Act 2, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." She expresses her inner conflict and turmoil as she grapples with the realization that the man she loves is from the rival family, the Montagues, who are enemies with her own family, the Capulets.

Juliet said it to Romeo in the balcony scene
At the beginning of the play before Romeo sees Juliette, he is in love with Rosaline.
In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says this line in Act 2, Scene 2, during the famous balcony scene while she is expressing her love for Romeo. She is arguing that a name is not important and that it doesn't change the essence of a person.
That quotation is a close approximation of a line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. That line is talking about language and saying that what really matters is what a person is, not what groups he belongs to. That words don't mean much... you can still smell a rose and appreciate its beauty even if you called a particular rose "axle grease" instead. The line is just after Juliet finds out that Romeo belongs to a group that she has hated all her life. She already loves him though, and realizes that no matter what group he belongs to (in this case his family), she still loves him for who he is.

I think act 2 scene 2 line 3 is the metaphor?
Romeo and Juliet. When Juliet, who is a Capulet, finds out Romeo is a Montague, she is torn because of her feelings toward him, and the feelings her family has towards his family, or in this case, his name. She is saying the feelings she has shouldn't change just because she learned his last name. Everyone knows what a rose is and how it smells, but what if we called it something we know to be ugly and capable of hurting you, like a cactus? It would still be pretty and smell wonderful, making a name just that....a name.
