Words that rhyme with Omaha
Omaha reads as a household-word on the page; phonetically it's three-syllable, anchored on the front-and-flat /æ/, ending where it ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: no strict pair turns up at all, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance well is bottomless. From the lyric side, it works as a plain-speech anchor. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why omaha rhymes the way it does
Pull omaha apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 117, assonance 5,675, and consonance 1. 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. 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 omaha tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
