You answered your question. :-D  Hermione was born in muggle world so 
she doesn't understand, at first, the intensity of saying his name.  

I am starting to believe that when Arthur says in GoF something to 
the likes of "Imagine seeing a dark mark over your house" that the 
Weasleys were personally affected by Voldemort.  Perhaps so badly 
that they themselves don't speak of it.  Therefore, Ron (along with 
George, Fred, Percy and Ginny) don't speak of it to Harry and 
Hermione leaving them clueless to Weasley's past.
