Words that rhyme with Connery
For lyric work, connery behaves as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Sound-wise: three-syllable, vowel on the short /ɪ/, finally it ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the strict-rhyme column is bare, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Sketch the lyric role and you get a low-register anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why connery rhymes the way it does
Connery is built around the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's three-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 81, assonance 6,577, and consonance 27. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for connery tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
