“name” in a lyric: two examples

My coffee cup's got someone else's name;
each morning, it's a brand-new guessing game.

We lost the final, no one was to blame,
and still the whole gym chanted my name.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (came, same, and game) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (overcame) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “name” sounds forced, move “name” inside the line and end it on another word.
