Words that rhyme with Mauricio
Start from the sound: mauricio is a three-syllable word on the front /ษ/, and it leaves the vowel hanging open. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The headline counts: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. The lyric headline: it works as a household-word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why mauricio rhymes the way it does
Mauricio sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Mauricio rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
