Geocache Description:

(BUT ISN'T SHE CUTE??)

Latest picture: Seven and (almost) toothless!

I wanted to place a very special cache on the occasion of my wonderful granddaughter’s first birthday. So I decided to create a very specially difficult puzzle! The cache is located at +38 45.???, -121 15.???. To find the six missing digits, you will have to put together several pieces of the puzzle.

First of all, my grandaughter’s name is the key to deciphering the puzzle. Oh, but it’s not her REAL name. It’s the nickname that she is called by; and there are quite a few possible nicknames!

Next you will need to read the words of wisdom below from that great philosopher, Worllib. Hopefully you can use this sage advice to guide you through the trials and tribulations of life. Or, since it’s actually complete gibberish, maybe you’ll just settle for finding the parts that need to be deciphered.

Finally, once you have come up with something that resembles actual words, you will have to do some rhyming to get the numbers you need

Good luck! And I’ll be glad to take requests for hints.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

EXTRA HINT (to try and get things rolling). Try Googling the highlighted words from this clue:

The least common of the MOST COMMON NICKNAMES, according to DERON MERANDA.

(Also added an encrypted hint, if you need it too.)
I probably should lower the diff level after all this help! But I won't...

Congrats to supergeofish for FTF!!
