Flop:
Again, I feel there's a fairly simple explanation for
this. Dobby was the MALFOYS House Elf for who knows
how many years. I can't imagine Lucius Malfoy ever
even THINKING of The Dark Lord as "You-Know-Who" so if
ever he was mentioned he would have been referred to
as The Dark Lord.

Here's a thought. Do we know anything about the
lifespans of House Elves? Because some of the things
Dobby said about the plight of House Elves before
Harry triumphed over Voldemort in VW1 kind of implies
that he (Dobby) was AROUND for VW1, and likely already
belonged to the Malfoys. Bears thinking about, doesn't
it?...

Flop
