Claustrophobia (enclosed spaces)
Hydrophobia (water)
Arachnophobia (spiders)
Aviatopophobia (flying)
Glossophobia (speaking in public)
Demophobia (crowds)
Acrophobia (heights)
Nyctophobia (darkness)
Thanatophobia (death or dying)
Odontophobia (dentists)
Aichmophobia (needles)

I thought Aggrophobia was crowds

Pyrophobia (fire)
Ophidiaphobia (snakes)
Bees - Apiaphobia I think
Vertigo - heights
I did know the fear of success but can't remember it

I'll post my list very soon, I promise... I know it includes fear of blushing, doctors, cats and 'the male organ' ... but I forgot the medical
'-phobia' terms for them... I'll post them ASAP
BTW just one to keep you going : keraunophobia = obsessive fear of lighting and thunder
(In other words... term to describe people who fear Cloudy )

No, Agorophobia IS fear of open spaces.
Fear of crowds, I think, is allied to Claustrophobia, but I am not sure.

Arachnophobia is the only one I recognize, because I HATE the little critters!
They give me the willys!
