I can't recall of a single Death Eater that refers to Voldemort by that name. A point is made that Severus does not, but of course he would fit into your theory. However, in that scene Harry notes that the term Severues uses ("Dark Lord") is the one Death Eaters use. This seems correct. Crouch, Jr., Bella, Lucius, and Narcissa also use this name when speaking of him.
