"And his name is Voldemort. Filius, you might as well use it. He's going to try to kill you, either way!"

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallo

As the battle between good and evil drew nigh, the good side ensured they refrained from uttering the name 'Voldemort' aloud, opting for alternatives like "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "You-Know-Who."

Yet, in The Deathly Hallows, McGonagall confidently uses the Dark Lord's proper name, demonstrating to Professor Filius Flitwick her unwavering sense of security in doing so.

While it was, sort of like a taboo to say Voldemort's name,  the brilliant, sassy, and brave McGonagall finds a perfect opportunity moments before the onset of the Battle of Hogwarts. She is ready to defend herself, her colleagues, and the students against Voldemort's forces.
