what rhymes with oblivion?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a technically "perfect" rhyme, you have to match EVERY sound from the syllable of the accented vowel to the end of the word. That is, it would have to be a word ending in the sound /-ivian/

There only TWO English words that do this (already listed):
Bolivian, Vivian

It you need this for a poem, this may be a bit too limiting! In fact, if you've written the poetic lines so that you MUST have a perfect rhyme for "oblivion", you might want to reconsider re-writing that line so that a word with more possible rhymes is placed in the 'rhyme position'.

BUT! a "rhyme" need not always be a PERFECT rhyme. Everything depends on how you need to USE it. If what you want is a word that matches closely enough to work in a particular poem, there may be a good "NEAR rhyme" in which MOST of those sounds match, but not all.

(Note that words that will work well enough in one instance will not in another. For example, humorous verse [such as a limerick] often tolerates more distant rhymes. So you'll need to test the possibilities in the actual poetic context. )


For near rhymes, the BEST option is usually to look for ALL the vowels you'd need for the perfect rhyme (called "full assonance"), for the final consonant to match exactly or at least very nearly, and then for any remaining consonants to be as close as you can manage. BUt DO notice that words ending in "-ian" are frequently related to proper names (geographic name, etc), which you may find too limiting... in which case, consider rewording the first line.

So, in this case:

1) full assonance + final consonance + another consonant in place of the /v/

a) /d/
davidian, dravidian, floridian, meridian, (non-)Euclidean, Gideon
aphidian, ascidian, ophidian, proboscidean, proboscidian, quotidian, viridian

(this substition works rather well, partly because /v/ and /d/ are formed at nearly the same spot in the mouth and both use the voice... that is, they are fairly closely related sounds):

b) /m/ or /n/
simian, Simeon
hominian, Finian
(again, /m/ and /n/ are made close to where /v/ is, and are voiced)


c) /b/
amphibian, Gibeon
(VERY closely related)

d) other more distant sounds:
Phyrgian, Stygian, callipygian, sharifian, vaudevillian, vespertilian... and perhaps words ending with "illion" (million, billion, vermillion, etc), esp. if you pronounce this ending with an 'extra' syllable -- as "illeeyan" rather than the more common "illyan"

(BEWARE of words that LOOK like they match, but with the accent on a different syllable -- in this case, a word like "perigean" [pronounced /pe-ri-JE-an/] and epigean [same accent]-- since these usually do NOT make the best rhymes.)

2) since that the sound /m/ is VERY close to that of /n/, you can

a) use a final -m:

trivium, quadrivium

b) do the same as in #1 but with a final -m

idiom
aecidium, antheridium, ascidium, basidium, clostridium, coccidium, conidium, ctenidium, cymbidium, glochidium, gonidium, hesperidium, indium, iridium, miracidium, nephridium, oidium, ommatidium, oncidium, osmiridium, peridium, praesidium, presidium, pycnidium, pygidium, pyxidium, rubidium [not that these element names are likely to help a lot... though with "oblivion", who knows?]

stibium
cilium, ilium, milium, reptilium, sedilium
actinium, aluminium, condominium, delphinium, dominium, einsteinium, gadolinium, illinium, minium, pollinium, protactinium, triclinium, uredinium

3) full assonance, match the /v/ (exactly or very nearly), but different final sound:

a) DROP the final /n/ -- use words ending with -ivia, or something close

trivia, Olivia, Bolivia
tibia, Libya

b) end with -ivial or -ibial

convivial, trivia
tibial

[Plus lots of other possibilities with "full assonance" but NO attempt to match the consonants.... but I haven't time to collect those right now.]
