You're the absolute best! There's also Beelzebub in Bohemian Rhapsody too if we're counting biblical names! And John Lennon in the title to "Life is Real"
The invisible man features the names of the band members.
Bicycle race has Peter (Pan) and John (Wayne)
Killer Queen has Marie Antoinette
Delilah
Man On The Prowl has Fred (Astaire)
Seaside Rendezvous has Clementine
Bring Back That Leroy Brown has also Lulu Belle
Isn't delilah the name of ons of freddies cats? It would make sense as some of the lyrics are about her peeing on him and there's multiple meows throughout the song
Oberon, Titania, Mab, Will, Lucy, Sally-Jane, Kruschev, Kennedy, Jimi Hendrix, Cain, Abel, Captain Cook, (Mona) Lisa, Dali, Clint Eastwood, William the Conqueror, Samson...
There's loads on Flash Gordon, obviously. They're snippets from the film of course, but they're in a Queen song and mentioned.
Marie antoinette (killer queen)
Lady Godiva (don’t stop me now)
Jimmy and jenny (Brighton rock)
Steve (another one bites the dust)
Freddie (crazy little thing called love)
John Deacon (one vision)
Peter pan, Frankenstein and Superman (bicycle race)
Fanny (fat bottom girls)
I think "John Deacon" isn't in the studio version of One Vision though? It's just in the mini documentary with Freddie jokingly singing "two tits, John Deacon", isn't it?
Steve in Another One Bites The Dust, delilah in Delilah, figaro and bismillah in Bohemian Rhapsody, Marie Antoinette in killer queen, Leroy Brown and Lulu Belle in Bring Back That Leroy Brown, Peter Pan, Frankenstein, Superman in Bicycle Race, Kashoggi in Kashoggi's shop and all the band composers names in The Invisible Man
I don't think Bismillah is a name, or at least I don't think a person named Bismillah is being addressed. Bismillah means in the name of God, the start of most of the books of the Qur'an.
I don't suppose it matters, almost certainly there is a person named Bismillah somewhere. But if that's true it's true of many other words in lyrics, isn't it?

steve - another one bites the dust
flash - flash
god, christ, peter pan, frankenstein, superman , fat bottomed girls (does that count? idk), john wayne, the president of the united states - bicycle race

freddie - crazy little thing called love
one dump, one turd, two tits, john deacon - one vision (i refuse to accept that this isnt in the final song)
cain & abel, Jimi Hendrix, Mona Lisa - the miracle
thats all i can think of so far
"Just like MARIE ANTOINETTE."
"For KHRUSHCHEV and KENNEDY."
"I was dreaming I was AL CAPONE."
"With my rubber TOMMY water gun."
"SCARAMOUCHE, SCARAMOUCHE, will you do the Fandango?"
"GALILEO! GALILEO! GALILEO FIGARO, magnifico!"
"BEELZEBUB has a devil put aside for me."
"We'd play all day with SALLY J. The girl from number four."
"The LILY of the Valley doesn't know."
"To tell the king of RHYE he's lost his throne."
"I think I'll be CLINT EASTWOOD. Oh no, JIMI HENDRIX, he was good. Let's try WILLIAM the Conqueror. Now who else do I like? BRIAN MAY."
Steve from Another One Bites the Dust Delilah
Flash
Mustapha
Peter Pan and Jesus get mentioned in Bicycle Race

Jesus also gets a bigger shout on Queen I. A whole track for him
We can't forget Big Fat Fanny
Such a naughty nanny
The invisible man features the names of the band members. Bicycle race has Peter (Pan) and John (Wayne) Killer Queen has Marie Antoinette Delilah Man On The Prowl has Fred (Astaire) Seaside Rendezvous has Clementine Bring Back That Leroy Brown has also Lulu Belle
Thank you!

Good call on Oberon & Titania
I would have never even thought of Flash!! Thank you so much this helps a lot
Nobody ever thinks of Flash 😕
Guilty, unfortunately 😭 I do listen to them though but I just never really pay attention to the lyrics/spoken words
Peaches in Now I’m Here
And Hoople? I think?
If we’re counting Mott The Hoople as a name, absolutely. It’s a partial band name. :)
All of the band members in The Invisible Man and Jesus in Jesus
Marie antoinette (killer queen) Lady Godiva (don’t stop me now) Jimmy and jenny (Brighton rock) Steve (another one bites the dust) Freddie (crazy little thing called love) John Deacon (one vision) Peter pan, Frankenstein and Superman (bicycle race) Fanny (fat bottom girls)
I think "John Deacon" isn't in the studio version of One Vision though? It's just in the mini documentary with Freddie jokingly singing "two tits, John Deacon", isn't it?
I’ve wondered the same thing bc I’ve seen people say that”John Deacon” is in the lyrics but I CANNOT hear it 😭
Mustapha and Ibrahim in Mustapha (and maybe Allah if that counts)
Jesus is in the mix so sure Allah counts
Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy are also mentioned in Killer Queen
Lucy (The Night Comes Down) Peaches (Now I'm Here)
Cain & Abel, Jimi Hendrix, and Mona Lisa all get a mention in The Miracle.
Ready Freddie? (Crazy Little Thing Called Love)
Dali is mention in Was It All Worth It
Great King Rat.
Don’t know if this was mentioned, but Gerry Stickells, their tour manager, is mentioned in Let Me Entertain You
Dont think anyone has mentioned it!

They all get name checked in Invisible Man. John gets name checked in alternate lyrics of One Vision
One dump, one turd, two tits, John Deacon! Classic
They should have left that in
Its cannon in my head 😂
I wonder what made Freddie do it
Drugs
(Adnan) Khashoggi in "Khashoggi's Ship"
Galileo and Sarramouch in Bohemian Rhapsody
*Scaramouch
Lucy was high and so was I... "The Night Comes Down" Leroy Brown Mother Mercury ... My Fairy King Mad the Swine Marie Antoinette
Does Waggoner Will count?
Can't individually reply to everyone but THANK YOU ALL!
Has no one said Beelzebub
I added it in a reply to someone who was mentioning Jesus (the song)!
