First note that "Thames" (as in the name of the river), suggested in another answer, is pronounced "temz", which does not work as a rhyme. (Perhaps there is some English dialect it would work it; I'm not aware of any.)
The following should all rhyme (58):
acclaims, aims, claims, counterclaims, declaims, disclaims, exclaims, maims, misaims, misclaims, overclaims, proclaims, quitclaims, reclaims, airframes, aspartames, ballgames, bedframes, beldames, benames, beshames, blames, bynames, cames, dames, defames, degames, endgames, enflames, enframes, fames, filenames, flames, forenames, frames, grandames, hames, inflames, jobnames, kames, lames, macrames, madames, mainframes, misframes, misnames, names, nicknames, outshames, pennames, prenames, reframes, renames, shames, stepdames, subframes, surnames, tames
Note that MANY of these are compounds with another word added to the same base word (e.g., claims, frames, games, names), so the options are not as diverse as it may seem at first. I also would not suggest rhyming it with one of the other words ending in "names", since that's virtually "rhyming the word with itself", which is usually not the best poetic form.
If none of these will work for you, note that the /n/ sound is so close to /m/ that you can almost certainly use words endings with the sound /aynz/ for an excellent "near rhyme". Follow these links to see 257 words ending in -ains or -anes:
