Why is it that short people are usually the ones with brollies? All those pointy bits, held up at my eye level. I don't fear it, but it annoys the hell out of me.

Velumiphobia is an irrational fear of umbrellas. That's the correct name, no doubt

"Umbrella" is another term for the parasol, which was first used as a protection against the scorching heat of the sun, "para" meaning prepare or shield and "sol" meaning sun. The word "umbrella" has evolved from the latin "umbella" (and "umbel" is a flat-topped rounded flower) or "umbra" meaning shade.
So I guess - Umbellofobia!
