I was looking at the meanings of two of my favourite names - [name_f]Oria[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] - and realized that they having rhyming meanings. I then went down the rabbit hole over the last few months and had fun creating some rhyming meanings (some of the meanings had to be reworded a little, but I think they still work). There are many “butterfly” rhymes because there are such great butterfly names. So, here are what I’ve created…
