Question

I am quite well known, with many uses

Though I can't help one find things that he loses.

I have two names with different meaning

That sound the same when heard in speaking.

There are more lines to this that I can add if no one can get it, but I want to see how hard it is with just these first. B))

Jeans (Genes) seems to fit all the clues.

I quit. I hope you post your answer soon.

Firstly, Frost, don't post the answer. I like this one a lot (pending the answer of course ;) ). Just to add some positive feedback, I understood what you meant just by the riddle itself with no explanation needed. I like the concept, which is why it's so frustrating to keep thinking about this and not getting an acceptable answer.

thirdbase, maybe it would help if I said you named 2 things. the answer is 1 thing. jeans and genes are 2 different things. if you wanted to answer genes, then the other name would be DNA, but of course those don't sound alike and aren't very decorative...

hat/cap?

good riddle Frost, I'm totally stumped ...

Alright, still no one got it, so I will add more lines:

I am quite well known, with many uses

Though I can't help one find things that he loses.

I have two names with different meaning

That sound the same when heard in speaking.

My initial purpose was not decoration

Yet many continued with experimentation.

While I come in many colors,

One's more common than the others.

This ought to help a little more. And no, Itachi, I don't plan to give the answer for a while, I have even more lines.

I hope once you hear the answer it will seem obvious, it should at least. :D

my guess from before:

shelf

but now I think it's something like this:

is it some kind of plant? more specfically, a tree or flower?

Nope, sorry. When you get the answer it should be sufficiently obvious that it's the right one.

Dang, and I thought it would be solved fast! I must have made it trickier than I intended. Oh well, I like ones where people give a variety of answers, it's interesting to see what people come up with. Trust me, though, you'll know when you have it. I think. :D

How about a rose ?

It was and is used for manufacturing rose oil , perfumes and other girlish stuff . :P

It was initially used for symolizing love only , but as days went by it was more and more used for decoration.

The different colours part definitely fits .

Not sure about the rhyming part though . ;)

Nope. Man, you guys are coming up with some interesting answers. And I thought this would be too easy! :D

Should I add more lines? They might help.

I couldn't stay away but this is driving me nuts. (I was really hoping that someone solved it before I came back online. Then again, I'm glad no one did).

I've thought of many possible answers but ruled them out myself. I am truly stumped. GREAT PUZZLE!!

I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way but I'm ready for another line or two (or just a hint) :rolleyes:

Alright, I'm adding the last two lines, though I may have to make more:

I am quite well known, with many uses

Though I can't help one find things that he loses.

I have two names with different meaning

That sound the same when heard in speaking.

My initial purpose was not decoration

Yet many continued with experimentation.

While I come in many colors,

One's more common than the others.

As some of you can already tell,

Me and water can't bond very well.

Hope it helps! :D
