Rhymes are catchy and memorable, so if a creator wants to publish a work that stands out among its contemporary releases, giving it a title with rhyming words or phrases could help. Even better, the English language has plenty of rhyming terms and phrases (e.g. Dream Team, Helter Skelter, Hocus Pocus, etc.) that creators can use without having to come up with their own jingle.
Often overlaps with RhymingNames or RhymeThemeNaming, especially for works that use ({{Multi|CharacterTitle}}) CharacterTitle, and may feature numerous people speaking RhymesOnADime, especially if it happens during a RhymingEpisode.
May or may not be a part of an IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming. Compare and contrast AlliterativeTitle, in which the words ''begins'' with similar phonetic sounds. DoubleDoubleTitle may result when both this trope and the latter are used in conjunction.
For an index of trope titles that rhyme, see SublimeRhyme.
