Yes, the fear of long words does exist.
There are two names for this phobia. The first is hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. The second, a shorter version, is sesquipedalophobia.
Ironically they are both long words.

What is the word fear in long words?
Any irrational fear - and it MUST be irrational - is a phobia and will have a long word ending in ~phobia as its medical term. A fear of snakes is not a phobia, it's perfectly proper to be afraid of snakes, but to be afraid of them in a place where they don't exist, or are most unlikely to be found, would be a phobia.
