 No, when you set yourself up as a user with GRANT use GRANT ALL
PRIVILEGES on *.* to <name> IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

The user can then create databases. Just login with mysql -p and type
create database <name>;

At lease this works for me. phpmyadmin is sure a nice tool to check what
you have done and to do things when you are feeling lazy.
