The Prediction (again)

Sorry to post on such a similar subject again, but Trelawney's 1st 
prediction is bugging me (like a lot of people here I guess). I 
already asked about who overheard it (which I did have some thoughts 
on), but the other thing really getting to me is the choice of 
wording (which I can't come up with any thoughts on).

When Trelawney is speaking, she calls LV 'the Dark Lord'. Why? I'm 
sure that most people call him 'he who must not be named' and a very 
very tiny number use his name. Only death eaters call him 'the Dark 
Lord'. JKR said that the wording is important and maybe she isn't 
refering to this in particular, but I can't figure why Trelawney 
would call him by this name.

Any ideas?
