On the DVD Greatest Video Hits 2 I think it was, Brian said that it wasn't Freddies mom who is meant in "My Fairy King", it's Brians mom.
And I would also like to add that Freddie chose Mercury as his name because Mercury/Hermes was the messenger of the gods and he felt that he had a messege to the world.

I remember an interview with Freddies sister her husband Roger said something about Mercury being Freddies birth star. Roger (not Taylor) said that when Freddie told him this he had made the obvious joke about Uranus and that Freddie was not amused. Kashmira wasn't amused either when Roger told the interviewer this and gave her husband a look that made him shut up.
At least this is what I remember, could be wrong.

Mercury...Mercury?
I just know (of course I have heard ALL that theories that You have mantioned) & I am sure that Freddie was a genius.
He (Fred) knew what was going to work, he knew that something that could be interpreted in different ways was going to be a HIT (If it was well designed).
What about BoRa? Why not Mercury?
And...What about QUEEN, fellows?

Mercury was messenger of the greek gods and also god of traffic and profit.
you know:TRAFFIC...PROFIT...
I read an interview with Freddie where he said that's why Mercury.
almost... Mercury is a Roman God, the Greek version is called Hermes.
whatever...
besides I know that, I just made a little mistake.
errare humanum est ;)
Oh, well probably he just thought it sounded good, Messenger from the Gods, and all that.
*I thought at last a Queen question I can answer, but no it was'nt to be. Nevermind, hey ho*
Ya, that would be my guess too.
I have no idea.
i wonder why he changed from farrokh bulsrar to freddie mercury.but,i read sumthing that said his parents were adopting the name freddie. i'm not so sure about mercury!
welcome sayo
i'm not saying anything bad about freddie's last name it was cool it was unique! love ya freddie!
i believe that freddie changed his last name, because it sounded better! im sure there's a logically reason, but then again i don't care much for logic.
and the whole roman god-thing too.
and freddie, everyone called him freddie. i think its cute!
the name mercury is so pompous and grandiloquent name! i love it~

He originally intended on using EARTH but opted for MERCURY as he thought it might cause confusion with the Smile single also called EARTH.
Then again.... ;)
