Words that rhyme with Appleton

Take appleton apart phonetically and the bones are these: three-syllable, vowel on the round /ษ’/, ending that lets the line ring through a nasal. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Two readings: as data โ€” perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set, the family-rhyme list hands over a few solid slants, the assonance options multiply into the thousands; as lyric โ€” an unguarded everyday word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.
