Trivia--The Name Game

So based on yesterday's post about my love for the name "Scout" and where that came from...

Here's 

  as to how and why I love that name so much!

There once was a show called "Young Americans" that aired right after Dawson's Creek on what was then known as the "WB" network which is now the CW. 

Anyway...

When Young Americans premiered…

… there were only four Harry Potter books. [and the first film was being made]

… Justin Bieber was six years old.

… American Idol had not aired yet.

… Britney Spears had just released her second album.

… Buffy Summers was still protecting the world from demons, vampires and the like.

… nobody had ever heard of Facebook.

… Stephenie Meyer had never thought about Edward Cullen.

… most people did not know who Paris Hilton was.

Here's the Theme song to the show which I absolutely LOVE!!

For those of you who never saw the 8 episodes.. (you are missing out!) 

Storyline

This series portrays life at Rawley Summer Academy, an elite school in Connecticut where boys with a bright Ivy League future spend the summer industriously in classes and rowing training on the lake. It's mainly told from the viewpoint of Will Krudski, a gifted, genuinely inquisitive student and future writer, who feels guilty having cheated at the entry exams. His roommate, Scout Calhoun, is a school legacy who makes an effort to become friendly with some underprivileged local kids and falls in love with the daughter of a garage owner who turns out to be family. Most of his classmates are golden spoon boys, but still have their problems, among each-other, at home and sometimes with the locals. Actually Jacqueline 'Jake' Pratt is a girl pretending to be a boy as the only way to get in, causing great confusion for Hamilton, the school dean's son, who begins to fall for her.

Here's the first episode via YOUTUBE 

I love the opening!! It features music by Nick Drake! 

This is the first time I really began to follow Kate Bosworth who then got her first big role soon after in a movie we all have seen, "Blue Crush"

And yes, she really has one brown one blue eye. A lot of times when she gets movie roles, they will give her a color contact to put in what ever eye color they want her to have.

And this is Mark

Mark Famiglietti

aka on Young Americans as Scout Calhoun 

He's the reason why I adore the name for a boy

Not because of her
