  1. Tonitrophobia: Fear of a guy named Tony while in the tropics. Very rare and mosly suffered by Italian widowers on carribian cruise ships.
  2. Agrizoophobia: Seems like fear of farm animals, but that would be too obvious. The real meaning is a fear of the famous turkish Grizo marble stone, often suffered by cleaning women who lost their marbles.
  3. Amathophobia : Combination of amateur and math. Fear of bad acting portraying a math teacher. Often suffered by freshmen pupils in school shows.
  4. Epistaxiophobia: Fear of the goverment plans to tax urination.
  5. Lachanophobia: Fear of a Los Angeles Chanel Operator.

Well some good guesses, and some dam right crazy ones

Anyway Tonitrophobia is the fear of thunder so well done to Topper very close. Agrizoophobia is wild animals but farm animals was almost bang on the money.

The other 3 nobody even got close, well apart from redDevil_UK with Amathophobia - fear of italian door mats but then he did use google to get that close

So come on the last 3 still stand

Amathophobia
Epistaxiophobia
Lachanophobia
