I know that 'o que' means "what" and the other one means "which", but when would you specifically use one over the other?

For example, in "Cual é o seu nome?" why is 'cual' used instead of 'o que'?

"He is looking at 25 years in prison."

English isn't my native language, and I don't know what the above sentence means. Does it mean he is sentenced to 25 years in prison? Or he "is going to (will be)" sentenced to 25 years in prison? Or is he serving his time in prison? Or none of the above? what is a synonym for "looking at"?

I need to think of a confirmation name soon and I am very intrested in Russian culture and espically Russian Literature.
I would like the name to be Russian, I origanally wanted it to be Dostoevesky, but the church didn't go for that. Male and Female names are both alright. My name is Katherine Elizabeth by the way.
Thank you in advance.

There are plenty of examples of languages simplifying their inflectional systems over time, such as Latin's complicated inflectional system simplifying into the much less complicated system of the modern day Romance languages, or the inflectional system of Old English simplifying into the English of today, or the slow death of the genitive case in modern German, but how do languages develop such systems in the first place? How do languages go from having a simple system to developing an intricate inflectional system such as that of Latin or Old English? Are there any linguistic examples of this happening in the history of language?

There's a fancy word for an "about you" page, but I can't remember what it is. It's nothing common like "biography" Any thoughts?
