Words that rhyme with Falmouth
Approached as a body word, falmouth is a two-syllable core sitting on the /aส/ diphthong โ which ends in a hissed consonant. It hits in the chest before it reaches the brain. The headline counts: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance pool is modest but usable. The lyric headline: it works as a word with skin on it.

Why falmouth rhymes the way it does
Falmouth is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the descending /aส/, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 51, assonance 1,067, and consonance 73. 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. Falmouth pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
