Dumbledore incentivou seus aliados a usá-lo.
Dumbledore encorajou aqueles ao seu redor a usar o nome do Lorde das Trevas. Ele diz a McGonagall que ele estava tentando convencer as pessoas a chamá-lo pelo seu nome próprio por onze anos.
"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this 'You-Know-Who' nonsense – for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort." Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two sherbet lemons, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we keep saying 'You-Know-Who'. I have never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort’s name."
"I know you haven’t," said Professor McGonagall, sounding half-exasperated, half-admiring. "But you’re different. Everyone knows you’re the only one You-Know – oh, all right, Voldemort – was frightened of.”

Dumbledore também diz a Harry para usar o nome do Lorde das Trevas porque o medo de um nome aumenta o medo da coisa em si.
"Sir?" said Harry. "I’ve been thinking … Sir – even if the Stone’s gone, Vol– … I mean, You-Know-Who –"
"Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself."

Dumbledore fundou e liderou a Ordem da Fênix.
"Is anyone going to bother telling me what the Order of the Phoenix –?"
"It’s a secret society," said Hermione quickly. "Dumbledore’s in charge, he founded it. It’s the people who fought against You-Know-Who last time."

É provável que ele tenha encorajado a Ordem a usar o nome do Lorde das Trevas também, porque Greyback mencionou que os Comensais da Morte foram capazes de rastrear a Ordem rastreando o uso do nome "Voldemort".
"You know who used to like using the Dark Lord’s name, Weasley?" growled Greyback. "The Order of the Phoenix. Mean anything to you?"
"Doh."
"Well, they don’t show the Dark Lord proper respect, so the name’s been Tabooed. A few Order members have been tracked that way."

Lupin estava na Ordem - ele era permitido em reuniões apenas para membros da Ordem.
Harry made to follow Lupin, but Mrs. Weasley held him back.
"No, Harry, the meeting’s only for members of the Order."
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 4 (Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place)
Lupin também estava na Ordem original, já que ele está na imagem dos membros originais da Ordem que Moody traz para mostrar aos outros.
“Better dead than what happened to them … and that’s Emmeline Vance, you’ve met her, and that there’s Lupin, obviously … Benjy Fenwick, he copped it too, we only ever found bits of him … shift aside there,’ he added, poking the picture, and the little photographic people edged sideways, so that those who were partially obscured could move to the front.”
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 9 (The Woes of Mrs. Weasley)
Como ele estava nas duas versões da Ordem, Lupin provavelmente aprendeu ao longo dos anos a usar o nome do Lorde das Trevas. Sirius, outro membro da Ordem original e reformada, também o fez.
“I mean, all they’ve really said is that the Order’s trying to stop people joining Vol—’
There was a sharp intake of breath from Ron.
‘—demort,’ said Harry firmly. ‘When are you going to start using his name? Sirius and Lupin do.”

Parece que as pessoas demoram um tempo para se acostumarem a dizer o nome do Lorde das Trevas, então é mais provável que os membros da Ordem original, que ouviram Dumbledore dizer a eles que digam isso há vários anos, estariam dispostos a usá-lo.
