How to use rhymes with “name”

Name has a large, clear /eɪm/ rhyme family. Aim, blame, claim, fame, flame, frame, game and same all give a clean end rhyme, so the choice can follow the meaning of the line instead of forcing the grammar.

To avoid a predictable pair, rhyme a phrase rather than two isolated words: “call my name” can answer “take the blame” or “change the game”.
