No common true rhymes with /ˈbɒdɪs/ exist. These words all end in the spelling -ice and are pronounced with final /ɪs/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are only spelling lookalikes, not rhymes. Office starts with the same BrE /ɒ/ as bodice, but the consonant after the vowel differs. Beware of false lookalikes such as police /pəˈliːs/ and nice /naɪs/, which also end in -ice but sound completely different.
