The naming of a Jewish child is a most profound spiritual moment. The Sages say that naming a baby is a statement of her character, her specialness, and her path in life. For at the beginning of life we give a name, and at the end of life a "good name" is all we take with us. (see Talmud – Brachot 7b; Arizal – Sha'ar HaGilgulim 24b)
Further, the Talmud tells us that parents receive one-sixtieth of prophecy when picking a name. An angel comes to the parents and whispers the Jewish name that the new baby will embody.
Yet this still doesn't seem to help parents from agonizing over which name to pick!
So how do we choose a name? And why is the father's name traditionally not given to a son – e.g. Jacob Cohen Jr., Isaac Levy III? Can a boy be named after a female relative? Can the name be announced before the Bris?
Jewish Customs
Naming a Jewish baby is not only a statement of what we hope she will be, but also where she comes from.
Ashkenazi Jews have the custom of naming a child after a relative who has passed away. This keeps the name and memory alive, and in a metaphysical way forms a bond between the soul of the baby and the deceased relative. This is a great honor to the deceased, because its soul can achieve an elevation based on the good deeds of the namesake. The child, meanwhile, can be inspired by the good qualities of the deceased – and make a deep connection to the past. (Noam Elimelech - Bamidbar) from http://www.aish.com/jl/l/b/48961326.html

The statement that best describes the Mississippians is <u>C. They Developed a complex culture and lived southwest, </u>because the Mississippians were a culture that lasted approximately since A.D. 800 until 1600, and they expanded towards the <u>southwest</u> and lived inside the lower Mississippi Valley. That civilization was a <u>complex culture</u> because<u> they had an organized society where there were leaders who led the people and common persons that used to cultivate, hunt, collect, make crafts, be warriors and develop public works as the construction of huts, among others.</u> The Mississippians lived <u>in small hamlets</u> that usually <u>had less than 100 habitants,</u> and in some settlements lived farms of single families dispersed by the prairies, and in a few places in Georgia the Mississippian villages were compound of a central plaza, zone for the residents huts and some defensive structures.
