what ryhmes with- "ADRIAN"?

Question

what rhymes..

Answer 1

Kudos to the old man for digging out some odd surnames, though if you're using this for a poem, I rather doubt they'll help.

As has been noted, the only (other) PERFECT rhyme (in which ALL sounds match from the vowel of the stressed syllable to the end match) is "Hadrian. But as this is just a variant of the same name, it probably won't help much.

My recommendation, if this is for a poem and you can't rework the line so that you have an easier word to rhyme with, is to try a workable "near" rhyme -- in which MOST of the sounds match-- as is frequently done in poetry.

Your best bets are words in which ALL the vowels match ("full assonance"), and the LAST consonant matches ("full consonance"). If the remaining consonants partially match or sound somewhat close, that can help.

Here are some to check out:

radian
radium, stadium, palladium
uranium
avian
Fabian ["avoiding direct confrontation"]
alien, mammalian
bacchanalian, saturnalian [a couple of fun ones!]
sesquepedalian (one of my favorites! = "given to using very long [literally 'foot-and-a-half"] words')
Aryan
homo sapien

Some nationalities & adjectives related to places:
Arcadien, Appian, Albanian, Iranian, Mesopotamian, Panamanian, Tasmanian, Romanian, Canadian, Mauritanian, Arabian, Hungarian
