What's the official name for a fear of llamas?

Is it just Llamaphobia?

...and did you know Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth? :p

ETA: Why is a fear of horses called Hippophobia? 0_o

    Mine is jellyfish... and basically anything else jellied or jelly-like. There wasn't a name for that on that site though, as far as I could see.

    I also have an irrational "fear" of wet hairs, no one understands me though. :(

    Mine is an odd one...

    Dry Sponge! I cant touch it, or stand other people touching it... it drives me crazy!

    No idea what the name of it would be though, if there is one!

    I have quite a few phobias although some big ones are being scared of mice, slugs and birds.

    I also have a very bad phobia of injections/blood tests too.

    Phobias are usually named after Greek or Latin translation of those words.

    I'm absoutly terrified of spiders and other bugs but its hardly a phobia. I don't get into a panic attack just by seeing one. I really don't think I have any true phobias.

    Well minus the social phobia, but thats evolved into just social anxiety now, no longer phobia :)

    Remember that phobia != fear.

    The closest thing to a phobia I have (it's debatable whether it actually is one) is glitches in video games. They freak me out big time.

    the only thing i'm properly phobic of is being sick.

    i hate spiders too, but i wouldn't say it was a phobia (and it does REALLY bother me when people say they're phobic when they're just a bit scared). i do a quick check of rooms as i go in, and i ALWAYS shake out my clothes before i put them on, but i know for a fact there's a spider loose in this house as we speak, and i'm still in the house, so by my definitions it can't be that bad. i just really hate them.

    again with dentists. i hate them desperately, and i get myself in such a state when i have to go, but i do still go, so therefore not a phobia either.

    Me too, like people who say they're depressed when they're having a bad day.
