Words that rhyme with Doubly
Most songwriters treat doubly as a workaday word, but the phonology underneath matters: two-syllable, vowel on the high /ɪ/, ending that ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. If you're searching for rhymes for doubly, the shape of the pool is unusual: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: strict matches don't survive the classifier, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the assonance well runs into four figures. Lyrically, the word arrives as a household-word. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why doubly rhymes the way it does
In our engine, doubly registers as a two-syllable word on the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 37, assonance 4,036, and consonance 133. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Doubly pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
