Well, other Blurtit users seem to have already given you quite a few words that rhyme with 'sun', so I won't go on to list more, because I think that some general advice would be more useful to you.
I assume that you're trying to write poetry, in which case, I can sympathise with your problem! But remember that poetry doesn't have to rhyme.
In fact, poetry often sounds better if you drop the rhymes in favour of developing a beautifully-flowing rhythm instead. But if you do want to rhyme, semi-rhymes (I'll explain more about these later), often work equally well, and stop your work from sounding childish.
Most poets own rhyming dictionaries - which list words and their rhymes - but many wouldn't admit to using them! Using rhyme doesn't have to be a crime, though, so I will go on to explain more about how to make rhyming easier in the rest of my answer.

How to Find Words That Rhyme
- Check that it is possible to rhyme your word - i.e. Not one of the following: Silver, orange, purple, month, angst, scalp, breadth, depth, width
- Look at the last two syllables of the word - 'terrific', for example, would produce '-rific'
- Try to think of words that have the same sounds as those two syllables - they don't need to be the same letters, just the same sounds. These are perfect rhymes.
- If you're still struggling, think of words with an imperfect sound ending - for example, words like 'terrific' and 'lyric', where only one of the last two syllables rhymes
- Semi-rhymes are a good back-up plan - these are words with an extra syllable on the end, e.g. 'send' and 'bending'
- If all else fails, think of a different word with the same meaning that you can rhyme more easily - or drop that word altogether. Can you make your poetry work without it?
- If even that doesn't work, try supplementing the word with an extra word - for example, if you've painted yourself into a corner with a word like 'orange', can you add 'tree', 'peel' or 'hue' to give yourself a chance?
