Answer 2

I assume you want a "perfect" rhyme --which requires that EVERY sound from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word (that is from "es" on) match exactly.

1) the place name "Ressica" (as in "Ressica Falls, Pennsylvania" - a little place in the Poconos)

2) vesica - a bladder, membranous sac

If these won't work for you (and likely, they won't!) there are a couple of options

* Rewrite the line or poem so that the rhyme required is to some OTHER word, or form of the word (in the latter case, a nickname like "Jess" is likely to be much easier to find a rhyme for, since there are many words that end with an accented -ess)

* OR find a suitable "near rhyme" --often used in poetry, and effective. What this typically means is that the VOWELS all match ("assonance") and as many of the consonants as possible match, or come close.

So, for instance, one of the following might work (roughly in order from nearer to farther rhymes --note that you want to keep the k sound if possible, but if you can't, sounds like /g/, /d/ and /n/ are closer substitutes than other sounds like /s/):

lexica
esoterica, replica
Angelica, Erica, America
asafetida, emerita
eczema, retsina, enema, retina

Sometimes a word in which the vowels are not quite a perfect match will work. For instance, in this case, since short a and short i are fairly close to a short e you can try things like:
brassica

hepatica, Attica
anathema

Ithaca, Pacifica
________________________

Sometimes you can get away with an "extra" sound at the end. For example, in this case, a word ending with -cle/-cal might possibly work (again, the ones listed at the top of each set are generally "closer"):

(un)ethical, ethnical
medical
heretical, parenthetical, arithmetical**
receptacle, spectacle
sensible, (in)defensible
(in)contestable
respectable, acceptable
ineffable

fanatical, grammatical, mathematical, sabbatical, piratical, enigmatical, theocratical, dogmatical (some fun ones there! see also

mythical, mystical, statistical
(meta)physical
analytical, critical, political
typical

Note that what "works" will depend a lot on exactly where you want to use it. Some contexts demand exact or very close matches, others are more flexible. For example, a limerick (or other sorts of comic verse) tend to be very forgiving, and can sometimes even be *more* effective by using a rhyme that "stretches things". So, for example, I can imagine a limerick that began --

"A girl called 'Mehitabel Jessica'
(a name I think should be anathema). . . ."
