Finding Nobel Prize winners whose first and last names rhyme is an extremely rare linguistic coincidence. Based on the official list of Nobel laureates, the most prominent example is:

**1. Hans Bethe** (Physics, 1967)
*   **The Rhyme:** Hans/Bethe. While "Hans" (pronounced *Hahns*) and "Bethe" (pronounced *Bay-tuh*) are slightly different in German phonetics, in typical English pronunciation, the "ans" and "ethe" sounds are often treated as distinct. However, if using the German pronunciation of Bethe (*Bay-tuh*) and an Anglicized variation, it is the closest proximity found.

**Are there others?**
Strictly speaking, there are **no Nobel Prize winners** whose first and last names form a perfect A-A rhyme (such as "John Don" or "Mike Bike"). 

Because Nobel Prize winners are chosen from a global pool of scientists, writers, and diplomats, names tend to follow standard etymological roots that rarely result in rhyming patterns. Most names that might sound similar are often off-rhymes (slant rhymes) at best, such as:

*   **T.S. Eliot** (Literature, 1948): While "T.S." and "Eliot" do not rhyme, they are often colloquially teased for the "ee" sound.
*   **Paul Flory** (Chemistry, 1974): If pronounced with a specific regional accent, the "Paul" and "Flory" might share an "aw" vowel sound, but they do not rhyme.

**Summary:**
If you require a **perfect rhyme**, there are zero Nobel laureates who fit the criteria. If you are looking for names that share a strong assonance or near-rhyme, **Hans Bethe** is the most frequently cited example in linguistics trivia.
