When I had my first son, my mother was over the moon. She could
not WAIT to hear him call her "Grandma".
However, he really couldn't say Grandma at first, so she decided
to settle for "Granny". But even that was a hurdle too high, and
he ended up calling her "Nanny"*.
I think that is what people mean when they say, "I'll let the
child decide what to call me."
The child isn't so much deciding, as just uttering what they are
capable of, based on the guidance from the adults.
I mean, long before the child is able to form words, all the
adults will be talking around her/him and calling everyone by
SOME name.
* At some point, she retrained him to call her Grandma when he
was able to, and she was always known as Grandma, henceforth. My
second son just called her Grandma whenever he was able to say
it... with no interim appellation.

Again, I thank you for all of your responses.
I went to the Gender Reveal party this past weekend . . . it's a
GIRL! ;D
My son-in-law gave me a kitchen towel with "World's Best Oma!"
stitched on it, so I guess I'll be called Oma ;D. Love it!
I am over the moon, filled with joy and happiness right now.
Life is good. ;D
