Mercury came from the fact that he liked mythology and the name of Mercury the messenger god (Roman god).

i think mercury was from his startsign - mercury rules virgo his sign - also it was said that in "my fairy king" the song he wrote there was a line, "mother mercury look what they've done to me" and it inspired him to change his last name and he was refering to his own mom in the song.
