I'm pretty much presuming, but I think Dumbledore would rather 
people refer to him as Voldemort because everyone was so afraid of 
the name.  It's much easier to stand up against someone that you can 
quantify with a name, instead of scary, there's-a-monster-under-your-
bed attributes like He Who Must Not Be Named and The Dark Lord.
