Spanky


Explanation:
Spanky means "quickly, dashingly". It could be translated as: ágilmente, entusiasta,rapidito,velozmente. It all depends on the full context. If it is a name, it is not translated. It will remain the same.

Spanky could also mean someone that likes to spank. In this case it would be "aficionado a las nalgadas". A spank is "una nalgada".

veloz, fenomenal, estupendo


Explanation:
en caso de ser nombre propio, se deja igual, pero si es un apodo, podría manejarse con un apodo similar pero en español, por ejemplo si le dicen "Spanky" por veloz, se puede manejar como "Pata veloz", etc..
