Words that rhyme with Quentin
From a sound-design view, quentin is a plain-speech anchor on the high /ɪ/, two-syllable, and it lets the line ring through a nasal. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, the family column adds a handful of singable slants, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. From the lyric side, it works as a word everyone uses. Family rhymes give you slants that still feel like rhymes; lean on them when the strict pool fatigues.

Why quentin rhymes the way it does
Quentin is built around the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 49, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 10,294, and consonance 987. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines.

With quentin, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
