"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Juliet was taken back when she found out that Romeo was a Montague, the son of the Capulets' enemy. But whatever his name, she finds that she loves him. She has to resolve the conflict between what she should feel according to the ancient feud and what she really feels about the real man Romeo. This speech is her sorting out her priorities and discovering what is real in life.

Paris, the guy she was supposed to be looking at during the party, provides a foil for the realism of Juliet. For Paris, if you are supposed to do something a certain way, or say something a certain way, or feel a certain way, that is what you do, say and feel. There is no reality which can conflict with this. Paris would not get Juliet's problem at all.
