Of course there is a story behind the name, Rinkytink. There always is. You
just don't know what it is.

Just as the Orchid genus Dracula has a double meaning, of which its authors
were well aware, it would be true in this case too. Many Orchid names are
bad puns.

Does anyone know why there is an orchid genus named Entomophobia?

Apparently there is no story. The protologue gives the etymology as
"fear of insects. Some characters point to an aversion to insects: the
closed flowers and the callus blocking the entrance of the stigma; the
abundance of fruits suggest self-pollination."
