Words that rhyme with Valentine
For the rhyme search, what matters about valentine is this: three-syllable, vowel on the bright /aɪ/, ending that rings out through a nasal. The love-song lineage is the obvious context. From the rhyme-data side: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. From the lyric side, it works as a word the love songs all share. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why valentine rhymes the way it does
Valentine is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the full-throated /aɪ/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 48, assonance 6,682, and consonance 0. 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. 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 valentine, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
