Orange technically does have a rhyme. It's Blorenge, a hill in Wales.

Silver also has a rhyme, and it's chilver, a female lamb.

If Ferrari is indeed the third most common last name in Italy, a better comparison might be Williams, which is the third most common last name in the United States (https://namecensus.com/last-names/) unless the comparison is made on account of its frequency of occurrences, in which case you may want to specify that.

The surname Ferrari comes from the Italian word ferraro, which means "blacksmith". It's the third most common surname in Italy

just as Smith came from blacksmith.

Surely "Rossi" would be the Italian equivalent of Smith, given that Smith is the most common surname in the US and not third? Also Orange is not one syllable.
