Why sebastian rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sebastian is a three-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Sebastian pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
