how do the name of phobias be determined? If I have a unique phobia can I make my own?

Names and titles are usually established by linguists and academics but anyone can name a phobia (or anything else) - it works the same as any origination: if you are the first to name it, you're the originator and therefor will enjoy the credit. Make sure you write up your origination in your own handwriting, make sure it is technically correct, date it and keep it in a safe place. Then promote the concept by submitting it to dictionary publishers, to Urban Dictionary, and blog about, include it in an article to Wikipedia and elsewhere, and send out a public release to announce your creation. Good luck!
