that she could change their (family) names so she and Romeo can be together.
D
that Romeo would reveal himself and take her from her family’s house.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Juliet, musing to herself and unaware that Romeo is in her garden, asks why Romeo must be Romeo-a Montague, and therefore an enemy to her family. She says that if he would refuse his Montague name, she would give herself to him; or if he would simply swear that he loved her, she would refuse her Capulet name.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Juliet wanted Romeo to have a different name because his name prevented the two of them from being together. Romeo’s surname identified him as a member of the Montague family. The Montagues and the Capulets (i.e., Juliet’s family) were constantly at odds with one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers who want to love each other freely, but in the end, it concludes that they both die by committing suicide. Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers who can’t be together because of the families that they live in. Juliet is a Capulet, and Romeo is a Montague.

Detailed explanation-4: -Juliet is expressing that it does not matter what a person’s name is, a rose would still be a sweet smelling flower if it were called by another name. She is comparing Romeo to a rose and states that it is just a name and not the person within. Juliet asks how Romeo got into her place.
