Alfred Hitchcock was a famous ovophobic:

I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes ... have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it. -- Alfred Hitchcock

5 pupaphobia - fear of dolls

Here is a medical discussion of pupaphobia, but it is described as a fear of puppets, rather than a fear of dolls:

What is Puppet Fear?

Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of puppets", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.

To add insult to an already distressing condition, most puppet fear therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as puppet fear can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual.

Known by a number of names - Pupaphobia and Fear of Puppets being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences puppet fear in their own way and may have different symptoms.

Isn't it fear of food?

I had have no idea that there's so many of -phobia.
There's even fear of marriage, school and walking.
I have found mine: 'batrachophobia'

Shaking hands phobia:

Shaking hands phobia can also be termed as a condition caused due to an unreasonable tendency of hating dirt and always worrying about being infected with germs.

As soon the victim extends his hand to shake, he becomes self-conscious that the hand of the other person may be extremely dirty, polluted and full of harmful microbes.

Such an unnecessary fear of being contaminated in the process of trying to know someone can definitely make you unsocial.

Now, this is ridiculous for you cannot expect everyone to wash their hands before shaking hands with you. It is a kind of mania, which should be properly treated before conditions become too worse.

Treating this unnatural cause
The best way to treat shaking hands phobia is to become aware of your abnormal psychology and try to bring about a major transformation in your thought process and behavior.

You can treat shaking hands phobia with the help of Neuro Linguistic programming.

Flower fear

Like all fears and phobias, flower fear is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking flowers and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.

Actually, I suffer from this phobia, to a certain degree. :)
It probably started with the stories my father used to tell me about sundew. I would never dare to put my nose close to a flower to smell it.

That's my real phobia : scoleciphobia / fear of worms (however beautiful they might be!) :)
