The link is no stronger than Eliza with Pygmalion, and less strong I think than Ophelia with Hamlet. Besides. Olivia and Miranda are Shakespearean coinages too, AFAIK... how much does that matter. If the character of Juliet in particular really bothers you, I can see how that'd stop you from using it. And I think it is a little silly to say that you value that it's an old name with history, BUT you don't like the history it actually has! But heck no, a Juliet would not be teased (well, she likely would be teased for the time that her English class read the play). There have been enough famous Juliets that I don't think you should worry about the Shakespeare character being too much like baggage on the name. Juliet isn't remembered for her death but for romance. The name Juliet is "romantic" style. It's the fashionable form of Julia at this time, IMO. It'll grow old with her, but few names won't, so why care?
