"coulrophobia"
"And now the update and conclusion........sort of
There have been a number of offerings for the name of "Clown Phobia", some serious and some not so serious . I've run them by the experts and one by one they've been offed. The best suggestion and the one that I've decided to use is Coulrophobia. It too has been declared "not quite correct", but...since it is used by doctors, I've decided that until further review, it makes the list. Many thanks to everyone who has assisted in this search and particularly to John Dyson, who has shown great patience with all my questions. He has given me the classical Greek meaning for Koulon:
"Koulon" is classical Greek for "limb" (i.e., leg, arm, etc.). There are several terms that include it. One of them means "stilts" and another means "stilt-walker."
Not quite the meaning we were looking for, but until further notice...coulrophobia"
I guess I would have gone with harliquinphobia myself.... sounds catchier... and you can guess it's meaning... or the italian punchinni (sp?) punchinniphobia not as catchy, but the name might come from latin...?
