Grammar Note
proper noun
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes: Hampton (/ˈhæmptən/), Southampton (/saʊθˈhæmptən/), Northampton (/nɔːrˈθæmptən/), Brampton (/ˈbræmptən/) all end with the sound /-æmptən/ (or /hæmptən/), matching the final part of 'Wolverhampton'. Be careful: 'Hampshire' (/ˈhæmpʃər/) and 'wolverine' (/ˌwʊlvəˈriːn/) look similar because of the 'Hamp-' or 'wolver-' spellings, but their final sounds are different, so they do not rhyme.
