Words that rhyme with Notion
Most songwriters treat notion as an idea-word, but the phonology underneath matters: two-syllable, vowel on the mid /ษ/, ending that hums to a nasal close. Pair it with something tactile and the line lifts. Songwriters asking for rhymes for notion run into the same map every time: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: strict rhymes are scarce, the family column is blank, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lyrically, the word arrives as a word the songwriter reaches for when the line needs scaffolding. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why notion rhymes the way it does
Notion is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 173, assonance 5,648, and consonance 939. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 notion tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
