O.O you guys I just figured out why Voldemort didn't like to be called that.

He hates his birth name due to Xenophobia and all that, so in school (let's say 14-16 years old, because we never knew exactly when he decided it) he wanted to be "cool" and change it, and wouldn't it be cooler if he made it from an anagram of his birth name? (Physopatic kids behaving like regular kids sometimes, yk?) and wouldnt it be even cooler if it meant something like "Death fears me " in another language or something?

So anyways he ends up with ' I am Lord voldemort', isn't he smart and awesome? so of course he has to tell it to his friends (*cough* followers & acolytes *cough* ) so they can see how superior he is from them (He is very proud).

The name sticks and he is as happy as a psychopath can be, until he grows up and realizes (like we all have in the past) how cringy he was as a teenager and oh merlin, why did he think that was a good idea? But is too late to change it, unless he wanted to reveal that was not his true name (Not an option)

So he makes it a taboo and ensures a horrible fate for those who utter that name, because how dare they remind Him of his teenage cringyness.

So I’m just thinking how Voldemort had the taboo up around his name so no one could say it. But then everyone in the Order of the Phoenix just called him things like ‘Moldy-shorts’ and ‘Snake-face’ and stuff. 

Well what if he found out about this and tried to extend the taboo to cover all the insulting nicknames people could come up with? Just imagine a bunch of Deatheaters all sitting around thinking up names to put on their official ‘banned’ list like, “oh, I got one, what about ‘ he-who-has-no-nose’?” “Alright, put it on the list.”

I never realized the 'voldemort' could mean 'stealer of death' in french. 'Vol' coming from 'vole' the third person singular present tense of 'voler' meaning 'to steal'. 'De' would denote possession and 'mort' means death.

I, too, am from the future. I think you should heed the warning of avenger4life. Your life, and your family's, will become one filled with misery if you do not. You don't really wish to follow old Moldyshorts anyway, do you?

You are all totally ridiculous.

And this part has nothing to do with me, obviously, but do you really want to call the Dark Lord that?  It just doesn't seem like a particularly bright idea.
