I think some of those fears are quite common, which is sad because they reflect the evils and hostility the world holds. For me, I can't say that I have any of those phobias above, except for maybe the last one. But I don't think I focus on phobias long enough to fear having one.
Here's my starter list:
Consecotaleophobia-the fear of chopsticks
Taphephobia Taphophobia-the fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries
Phronemophobia-the fear of thinking
Autophobia-the fear of being alone

Trypophobia - the irrational fear of clusters of holes, pods, circles, cracks, cuts, and/or other asymmetrical shapes, especially those found in nature (i.e. wasps nests, lotus seed pods, honey combs, skin grafts)
( A phobia I'm pretty sure I have...I didn't realize it was so common as to have a name. O.o This stuff has seriously bothered me all my life. Even the dragon from the Never Ending Story (his back) bothered me, as much as I loved the character.)
EDIT: Yep, decided I'm definitely Trypophobic. Only thing on any of the lists so far that hasn't bothered me is lampreys. Yep.

If you asked for my worst fear, I would tell you. But not many people have ever asked me, anyway, it is cheimatophobia or frigophobia- Fear of being cold or freezing to death. After reading a book (I think it was wolf brother) I became scared of freezing to death, alone. In the snow. With no way to move or even cry for help. Slowly drifting off and blacking out.

I'll have to agree with Tim on that. I can't be in the cold without a friend nearby, even if it's a chilly wind, I can't be in it without someone nearby to hug >.> I have a large hate for the cold.

Anthophobia – fear of flowers Agyrophobia – fear of crossing the road Amychophobia – fear of being scratched Automatonophobia – fear of anything that falsely represents a sentient being (can someone please explain this one to me) Chaetophobia – fear of hair Dentophobia, odontophobia – fear of dentists and dental procedures Emetophobia – fear of vomiting Gamophobia – fear of marriage, commitment Sesquipedalophobia – fear of long words Scopophobia – fear of being looked at or stared at Panphobia – fear of everything or constant fear of an unknown cause
(Sorry I put a lot. . . I got exited) Anyways my fear is Climacophobia- Fear of stairs. This doesn't bother me too much, I just grip onto the railing a little tighter then usual and It might be a little slower at climbing them. If the there is no railing you better be behind me!. . . .Or why don't we just take the elevator. . . because my parents have never let me.
