The Town Historian should be able to pull the record of street dedication or historic names.

Looks like some folks are plugging the word into rather poor "Rhyming dictionaries" that don't pay attention to some of the fundamentals of rhyme (or perhaps the users aren't paying attention).\n\nharmonica and Hanukkah are not very good rhymes for America, for one good reason:  good rhymes need to 'echo' beginning with the word's main ACCENT, specifically with the vowel of the accented syllable.   In this case, that means with (M)ER-  which is why "Erika" is, in fact, a perfect rhyme.   (But ER does not rhyme with ON/AN!)\n\nThere are actually rhyming dictionaries that match more than just the last syllable (as you need in this case), and I'll link to some below.  (For this word you need to rhyme the last THREE syllables.)\n\nBut even these may not solve your problem. Because it's very ujlikely you are going to find a PERFECT fhyme (with exact correspondence of all sounds) that will suit your needs.  So you'll have to look for CLOSE or NEAR rhymes, where most of the sounds are echoed and the ones that don't (especially if they're vowels) are reasonably close or don't 'draw much attention' to themselves.  (Just matching the vowels is often called simply "assonance", though that may be enough in some situations.)\n\nA couple of notes on the word's sounds.\n1) Most important are the syllable with the primary accent (ER) and the ending of the word (which has a secondary accent), especially the vowel.   The /i/ in between has no real accent, so the vowel is short and barely pronounced (and other short vowels might easily be substituted for it, as well as a long E, which corresponds to the short /i/).  Thus the sounds you especially want to pay attention to are those capitalized here:  a-mER-i-kA\n\n2) MER -- note that this E coming before an R is not very far from a "long A" sound (compare "AIR"), so either a long A or short e might be a good match.  As for the R (which may be a bit less important), it is closely related to L, so that might be a promising direction to look\n\n3) the final -A has the sound of "uh" -- though a word ending in an -ah sound might well be close enough to work. \n\n4) the k -not as important to match in a near rhyme, though it might help if you use a "related sound" -- like /g/ (which is the same as /k/ but with the voice added), or a /t/ or /d/ (which, like /k/ and /g/, is a "stop", made by completely stopping the flow of air with your tongue).  You might also be able to get away with dropping it completely. That's why "hysteria" is a pretty good near rhyme  (and why it is used in the Calvin & Hobbes parody of the Pledge of Allegiance:  "I pledge allegiance to Queen Frag, and her mighty state of hyseria. . . . ")\n\n5) You might be able to add a consonant to the end and still have it work, so long as it's not too 'strong' or emphasize a sound.  \n\n(Also, with ALL of these near rhymes, you may find that what sounds close enough in some instances, does not work in others.  This may have to do with how formal a work you're working on, but also where the rhyme falls in the overall rhythm of what you're writing.)\n\n------------\n\nUsing some of the sugestions above, some possible near rhymes (to varying degrees!!) might be:  \n\nAngelica, Celica, hysteria (as noted), area, malaria\nsilica, basilica, Seneca\nFarragut, chimerical, numerical\nempirical, spherical, miracle, lyrical\narial,  imperial, ethereal, terrible, repairable\ncommisariat, lariat,   (h)airy cut (?),  sherry cup(?),  belly up\nwary of,  care/rare/fair/share/spare enough,  theory of, imperative\nfairy dust, Harry does, bury us, various, gregarious, perilous \nnecesSARy/seconDARy cut  (that's a bit off --the primary accent here ordinarily falls on the first syllables [Ne/Se] but in some instances, mostly humorous verse [e.g., limerick] you can take some liberti

"Mahn-WEE" is the correct pronounciation. I'm afraid I don't know of a website, though.

For a start, you'd have to change a lot of vocabulary. It amazes me how British people are completely au fait with American vocabulary like 'sidewalk', 'pants' and 'egg plant', but when a British person mentions 'the pavement', 'trousers' or 'aubergine' then it's blank faces time.\n\nAnother aspect of British English is that there are so many variations and accents. If i were to speak with a Yorkshire accent, in some cases it could almost be unintelligable to a Londoner.\n\nIt would be almost impossible to 'learn' an accent, just to pick up bits of it. \n\nI'd guess some main starting points would be not drawling vowels and opening them. (as in 'darling' not 'dahling'). Also, the word 'like' is only used as a comparative adjective, not as a word that is put in a sentance wherever you feel like putting it!

You probably won't go far wrong if you simply pronounce te vowels as they would be in Spanish or Italian; this is the normal convention, from which English unfortunately departed when the language changed a few hundred years ago.\n\nSo i would try Jee-day-o-for. But it could be JI-deofor, or JiDEofor, or JideOfor, or even JideoFOR.

Hmm, I have a good friend from near there and I can hear no accent at all.  Sometimes he says cattywampus which cracks me up though.
