give me a word that rhymes with family?

Answer 1

FAMILY [look for full assonance, best if ENDING with /ee/, near consonance. . . /an/ or /am/ work best...]

First, note that there is no "PERFECT" rhyme for "family". Such a rhyme must match EVERY sound from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word. That is, in this case, the word would have to end with the sounds of -amily.

One alternative, then, as another answer has suggested, is to substitute another word (such as "kin") that has a number of possible perfect rhymes. Related to this, assuming this is for use in a poem, you might totally rewrite the lines so that the word "family" does not appear in the 'rhyming position' (usually the end of a line).

But that may not be necessary. Though it may not have a PERFECT rhyme (and, contrary to popular thought, MANY words in English do not) poems frequently are able to use effective "NEAR rhymes", in which the MOST of the sounds are the same, esp. the vowels.

The best option for a words like yours is usually to look for "full assonance" -- that is, that all the vowel sounds from the accented vowel on match perfectly. The more of the consonants that match, or the closer they come if they don't match perfectly, the better.

Which one will work you can only tell be trying them out in actual lines -- some poetic contexts demand a closer match than others. (For example, humorous verse, such as limericks, tend to be more forgiving.)

---------------------

So... to find a usable 'near rhyme'. ONE important thing you'll have to do is be clear on how you are pronouncing "family", since it has TWO widespread pronunciations, with either two syllables or three. (In fact, many people pronounce it BOTH ways, depending on the context).

/FAM-uh-lee/ OR /FAM-lee/ (Note that the "uh" is an UN-accented sound.)

There are many 'near rhymes' for either, but I think the best options are those which include the /m/ sound OR, in its place, the closely-related /n/ sound. A matching L-sound is also helpful. So here are some possibilities

A) For "FAM-lee":
auntie, bandy, banshee, blankly, brandy, candy, canny, clammy, cranny, dandy, fancy, frankly, grandly, granny, handy, lampre, manly, nanny, pansy, pantry, sandy, scanty, shanty

The closest of all of these is "manly".

B) For "FAM-uh-lee" (the better/more useful matches in the first group):

amity, calamity, handily, manatee, profanity, randomly, sanity, scantily, vanity

amnesty, angrily, anxiously, canopy, fantasy, handsomely, happily
