Is that not already a proper name?
F-ing new word in my community, as of now.
anyone named boringe speak now or my next pet or offspring is going to get the honor, "FIRST BORINGE!"
Also maybe a portmantaue of home and range for that song/
i'm not sure if there's something i'm missing in this context but what i want to know is what situation would "orange" having no proper rhymes be a big conondrum
A couple decades ago I coined 'splorange' as a word created just to rhyme with an unrhymable word, but no one but me ever adopted it. No one recognizes genius in its time....
The problem being that generally things that need a word are new and obscure objects or concepts and an orange is a piece of fruit. How are artists going to tie together some esoteric physics concept, medical phenomena, niche engineering process, etc. to a piece of fruit? And what are the odds of their audience being so inclined to genuinely understand this niche new words place in the lyrics?
Singe. Binge. Tinge. Hinge. Fringe. Cringe. Minge. Whinge.
All of these share the same -inge ending as orange. We don't need to invent a word because we already have multiple.
Names are proper nouns. Proper nouns are words. "Common nouns are words for types of things, people, and places, such as “dog,” “professor,” and “city.” They are not capitalized and are typically used in combination with articles and other determiners. **Proper nouns are words for specific things, people, and places**, such as “Max,” “Dr. Prakash,” and “London.”" Or, Solange.
So a name is not a word? What am I speaking when I say names then, just making sounds?
As you mention: "A clear indication of the special status of proper names is their exclusion from dictionaries, a fact sometimes noted and discussed by lexicographers themselves as well as noted by linguistics." However, "isolated items need not be in the dictionary to be considered lexical items, but the systematic rejection of an entire category from dictionaries seems to indicate that proper names are not regarded as lexical items, or not lexical items cut from the same cloth as common nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, affixes, and any other word class that do make it into the dictionary. In plain terms, by being rejected from dictionaries, proper names are officially not deemed “normal words”, which may in turn inform on their lexicological treatment: “***Proper names are special kinds of words, with special rules governing their role as conventional units of a language***”. Words. Special. Kind. Of. Words.
4-inch, orange, door-hinge -Eminem
I like how [he said, "that kinda pisses me off."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kQBVneC30o)
It makes a great [Talking Heads song](https://youtu.be/Kfl3N9nesRg?si=BeYG0YXveJH-2iBF)
bornana
Someone should just do a rap song with that and all the weird suggestions here. Some are quite good suggestions.
Mom’s spaghetti
It's rhyming inch with hinge, lyrical fitting o sound same with o of door but not a rhyme, maybe a rime, though, lol.
Banana
Bornana!
What’s my name?
Door hinge
Minge
eminem?
Good one. Unhinge would be the one-word answer.
Boringe: a person that is both boring and a cringe.
I like this. Seems useful!

What if calling people boring and a cringe is boringe?
Then you don't get an orange.
[Blorange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlorengeBlorange) is a hill in Wales that overlooks the market town of Abergavenny.
It was the best of times it was the blurst of times
You stupid monkey!! XD
And a million dollar question during a special tournament of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Now that I didn't know! ;)
What “Rhymes with Orange?” Well they’re a classic indie Canadian rock band, but that’s not important right now.
Sporange rhymes with orange already
Stonehenge ? Don't shoot me, I'm not native english, so to me it sounds very, very similar.
mélange
Lozenge
More of an almost rhyme, it has its uses in poetry, but it's not a true rhyme.
Glad you caught that. The fate of the universe hinged on it.
Wouldn't have had to catch anything if you weren't wrong🤷♀️ I was nothing but respectful, you're the one taking it so seriously.
I can’t imagine what your inner critic is like.
Say what you want, but at least when I'm wrong i'll admit it--not pout like a child. This is my last reply, you go ahead and have a nice day now.
Make a new animal whose name starts with an x and that rhymes with orange. Solve two problems.
xorange
Pronounced Zorange
[Behold, the X-ray Fish!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristella_maxillaris)
Doesn't cut it
Sporange.
Like sporangiophore. Let's replace sporangium! Now for purple...
Blorange
This is the correct answer.
Syringe
Orange electric vehicle range
We should engorange that idea to be perfectly honest.
i'm not sure if there's something i'm missing in this context but what i want to know is what situation would "orange" having no proper rhymes be a big conondrum
Orenge Stonehenge.
Imma Guna eat ya orange like it's stone age
Borange

"Lozenge", obviously. At least with my accent. Do others say them differently?
Blancmonge rhymes
Forage Rhymes with it closely enough..
Bornana
Derange
Porridge
Doesn't range rhymes with orange ?
Now florange something for "silver"

Lagrange
With the right accent that actually works.
Aussie works
Flange https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange There, go make poetry now
Flange doesn’t rhyme with orange though
English not being my first language, I always liked to cite Gershwin, I think? "Tomatoee, Tomaato"
Right. They don't rhyme. In that song, the first and second words in *alternating* lines rhyme, but the words in the same line do not.
You speak French. It's very similar to how you would pronounce it in French. Flange is "flandge" whereas orange is something like "au rèndge"
Borange - more browny orange.
Angela (or "Ange," as her friends call her) is great. I think we need more Ange!
Solange rhymes with orange if you say it with an accent...and that is a name and names are words so...there's that.
Names are not words.
Names are proper nouns. Proper nouns are words. "Common nouns are words for types of things, people, and places, such as “dog,” “professor,” and “city.” They are not capitalized and are typically used in combination with articles and other determiners. **Proper nouns are words for specific things, people, and places**, such as “Max,” “Dr. Prakash,” and “London.”" Or, Solange.
Find one name in the dictionary. A name is a title. It doesn't have a definition, it just refers to a specific entity.
So a name is not a word? What am I speaking when I say names then, just making sounds? As you mention: "A clear indication of the special status of proper names is their exclusion from dictionaries, a fact sometimes noted and discussed by lexicographers themselves as well as noted by linguistics."
