I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone rhyme my name with anything, so props for trying! Actually, come to think of it, yours is even harder, so challenge accepted. Give me a few days.
@WJT - I didn't think I would get away without retribution...
As for rhymes, according to the reference: "the whole point was the skill in rhyming awkward names", "rhymes are often forced." also "contrived in order to achieve a rhyme."
You may or may not recognize the implied Inklings reference:
