If you need a "perfect" rhyme -- in which ALL sounds from the accented vowel to the end of the word rhyme:

1) ONLY "Thomas" will work

2) Those people have listed that end with the "miss" sound will NOT work... in fact, they are mostly quite poor, even as "near rhymes", because few of them are at all close to the "ah" sound (the vowel of prom-) which, since it is accented, is very important.


Perhaps you can use a "near rhyme" -- in which MOST of the sounds correspond... esp. where the accented vowel matches, and the sound or sounds that vary are CLOSE, that is you might have a "z" of "sh" for the "s"; a slightly different short vowel in the last syllable, and/or an extra consonant in the middle of the word.

Try one of the following:

calmness
llamas, pajamas, commas, dramas, Bahamas, mommas
grommets, comets
honest
psalmist
Amish, qua(l)mish

Also, two word combinations might work. Such as:

balm is, calm is, palm is, psalm is
bomb is


Allowing a slight variant to the accented vowel -- "uh" for the "ah"-- might also work:

pumice, glumness, plummets, summits
