Consonance is the general term for the repetition of a certain sound. Assonance is the name for repeating vowels, like 'y'. I don't think that there is a specific term for the phenomenon you describe, since it's not quite an end-rhyme.

[EDIT:] Found it! Specifically at the ends of words, it's called a half-rhyme, sprung rhyme, near rhyme or eye rhyme.

alliteration is when the words start with the same letter, I don't think there's a special name for words ending in the same letter. So invent the word and take all the credit.
