Answer
No. It's a general fear and everyone has at least some fear or more. Some people don't like going up elevators; don't like heights (vertigo); don't like flying; hate spiders, snakes or bugs in general. There are many fears out there and everyone has one fear they generally don't like to talk about. Your chances of ever being in a situation with a mannequin is slight. If you are in a store move somewhere else. Better still, face your fears? Pull apart your fear and ask yourself what on earth a mannequin could possibly do to harm you. YOU ARE IN CONTROL! I had a fear of flying and I just did it and made it. I found it wasn't all that bad. Do I love flying? Nope! I just do it because sometimes I have to fly to get where I'm going. I have controlled that fear and refuse to let it rule my life. I also don't like heights and I have never managed to get over that one (I freeze if up high and it would take the fire dept. to get me down! LOL) Who cares! I don't! Don't be so hard on yourself.
Regarding phobia names, though, most phobias technically do not have names ending with "-phobia;" most of these are made up for the lay person. (I'm tempted to make one up now, something like "polymerisapienaphobia" or something. :) )
