The use of the name Voldemort

I couldn't see this on the VFAQ, so excuse me if it's in there.

My friend and I were wondering about the use (or lack, there of) of 
the name Voldemort.
Now, wizards and witches don't say the name because they are afraid 
of it etc.
So, why would muggle borns (i.e. Hermione) be afraid to 
use the name?? In the books, it is only Dumbledore and Harry (mostly) 
that call him Voldemort. It doens't make sense.

And doesn't the insistence of Wizards of not saying his name, incite 
a fear that isn't there? If they weren't scared of Voldemort, perhaps 
he wouldn't be so powerful.

Just our little thoughts, would like to hear yours :-)
