In French, "Voldemort" is analysed like this :

Vol de Mort 

which means "sudden hit of death". This is mentioned in many sites 
that have to do with the origin of names in the Harry Potter series, 
and it is quite representing of the preference of LV to use the Avada 
Kedavra curse on his victims. So, I don't think that LV is loving 
someone or even more loved by someone, but in the sense that he most 
of all fears death (he tries all his life to find a way to be 
immortal) I think his name could be his own demise... a sudden hit of 
death.
