Titan and Ganymede are both larger (but less massive) than Mercury and could certainly be called planets if they qualified under the IAU criteria. The conditions include a requirement that they orbit the Sun, and not Saturn or Jupiter, respectively, which currently make them moons, not true planets. They would further need to have cleared their orbits if they were in solar orbit.
