I don't know that there is an "official" name, but following the Greek model of most phobia names, fear of circuses should be kuklophobia. Greek letters can be transliterated into English in more than one way, so other possible spellings would be kyklophobia or cyclophobia. "Circus" is actually Latin for "circle." The Greek word for a circle is "kyklos" and presumably that would have been their word for a circus except they didn't have circuses the way the Romans did.

What is circus peanut phobia?

Circus peanut phobia, also known as "saccharine-induced anxiety," is an irrational fear of circus peanuts, the orange, marshmallow-like candy. Individuals with this phobia may experience anxiety or panic at the sight or thought of these treats, often stemming from a dislike for their texture or taste. Like other specific phobias, it can lead to avoidance behaviors and distress in social situations where circus peanuts might be present. Treatment often involves exposure therapy or cognitive-behavioral approaches to manage and reduce the fear.
