Words that rhyme with Nylon
Nylon belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is the round /ษ/, and it trails through a nasal hum. The lyric tradition treats it as a household-word. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. In a song, the word is a common-tongue word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect column carries weight on its own, family rhymes round out the strict column, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.

Why nylon rhymes the way it does
Nylon is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 80 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 5,663, and consonance 1467. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With nylon, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
