Answer 1

Ichthyophobia is fear of fish
Before you start - I know Whales aren't fish.

There are worse things to be afraid of,
I mean Whales are kind of easy to avoid unless you're a Japanese Whaler.

I have Unatractiphobia and work in the east end of London,
Life is a nightmare

Answer 2

ive looked everywhere and cant find a term for the fear of whales
here is a list of all the phobias, didnt have to time to read through
them all....it might be in there http://phobialist.com/
phobias are very real, im a hypnotherapist and deal with many phobias daily, some people find them funny, but for the sufferer they can be debilitating. it was probably caused by something you saw when u were very young, maybe on t.v or even something u overheard, or it could have been a story, but these fears tend to stick, and the subconscious takes them on board, and remembers that fear that u first felt, and then does anything within its power to try and protect you from this scarry, and what it has identified as a life thretening animal. If you go to see a hypnotherapist this glitch can be reframed and you can be free of this phobia, good luck and yr not insnane, i bet yr freind have some things that they are scared of too.....everyone does, i met someone once who was afraid of buttons.....sounds crazy but it ruined this chaps life.
