You don't.
It was Freddie Mercury actually. Freddie was one of Elton's closest friends and they used to nickname each other in reference to female celebrities of the same name... So Elton became "Sharon" because of Sharon John, who was some UK-based soap opera-actress of the time - Freddie became "Melina" because of opera singer Melina Mercouri. CORRECTION: sorry but the above information is slightly wrong as the nicknames were given to Rod Stewart (Phyllis) and Elton John (Sharon) by Long John Baldry when they played together in the sixties. Robert Plant famously became Elsie and by the time Freddie Mercury came along to become Melina, the habit of giving names like this had formed with the celebrities.
