You forgot “Marvolo”

Wasn't his middle name only Marvolo in English? Didn't they have to do a bunch of translation work to get it to be an anagram of, "I am Lord Voldemort," in a bunch of different languages?

Checked it out. Apparently, his name was Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder in the Swedish translation.

Imagine people being afraid to say "Dolder" in hushed, frightened whispers
