text: what exacly is nomatophbia and how can you get it treated and how does it affect you??   nomatophobia is "fear of names."  there doesn't appear to be much written about it, and what i was able to find looking quickly in google seemed to treat it more as a quirk than anything else.  some clinical hypnotists claim to help it, as well as some self-help (buy my book/tape/seminar and get well!!!!) types.
