    These are not really medical phobia but coined in books or articles. I liked the last one:

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.
    Bibliophobia - Fear of books
    Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.
    Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
    Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks
    Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school.
    Optophobia- Fear of opening one's eyes
    Panophobia or Pantophobia- Fear of everything.
    Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th.
    anatidaphobia - the fear that somehow, somewhere a duck is watching you!
