    I AM David Merrill.
    Indeed that is quite an interesting matter: why Daniel keeps his original name in modern retellings but the three boys are known of by their Babylonian rubrics (last names?).

    Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego. Daniel 1:17
    Azariah (Jehovah helps) to Abednego (or Abednebo?) "Servant of Nego/Nebo";
    Misheal was renamed Meshach --from "Who is like the Most High" to "Who is like Aku";
    Hananiah (Jehovah keeps him or Jehovah is gracious) to Shadrach/Shadaku "Command/Lord of Aku".

    The new names were to match the Babylonian religious paradigm. It is suggested that Daniel protested somewhat the change and his protest made its way into the text of the book thusly Abednego was written instead of Abednebo (Daniel protesting the naming after Babylonian gods)--ala William Shea (1988). You might be interested in (which covers the topic): Belshazzar and Bel(te)shazzar: New names and Old Names for Daniel and Friends Belshazzar means Bel protect the King Amil-Marduk, Was He A Believer? The same Daniel who wouldn't eat Nebuchadnezzar's food probably didn't like being called Belteshazzar either.

    As the god of wisdom and writing, Nabu was linked by the Greeks with Hermes, by the Romans with Mercury, and by the Egyptians with Thoth. (Wikipedia)

    Interesting, Amway and 'debt money'. Systems posing as ways to freedom but yet are snares. Amway, a scheme to sell books to people until they come to realize attempting to sell dish detergent to one's neighbors some at a price of five times that of local store isn't probably the best idea.
