Valky:
Oh, excellent question!
Firstly I rescanned GOF and came across the passage that Aggie found 
also. 
Bart Crouch Jr did indeed say "Voldemort" and it punches a glaring 
hole in my theory. The explanation that Aggie has given ,which I 
think is rather good, does make sense but doesn't really cover my 
theory because I proposed that Death Eaters were a servant to their 
mark and unable to by sheer force of the spell, to speak in a manner 
that might dispel the fear of the name 'Voldemort'.

So at this point I am going to take a gigantic leap and propose 
something that is a bit crazy, and it could be right too.

Bart Jr was never marked!

My supporting canon is that he was extremely young when he crucioed 
the Longbottoms. Perhaps too young to have actually been into the DE 
creed beyond his initiation. So young he may have been an outside 
and silent inactive supporter of LV right up till he became 
Vapomort. We know that Barty Jr crucioed the Longbottoms after 
Godrics Hollow. So if the mark was to be placed on the DE by 
Voldemort himself to seal the connection it could not have been done 
if Barty Jr hadn't actually joined before Voldys failed AK on Harry. 
Therefore, he may not be an actual Death Eater, and may not be 
wearing the Dark Mark at all. Meaning if he was to will himself to 
say Voldemort there is nothing magical to stop him. 

Reminding you that I only scanned GOF to come up with this theory, I 
hope anyone with canon to rip it up and discard it will be very very 
nice.

Best to you all.
