Question Fidgety Philip
How would you translate "Fidgety Philip" into Spanish?

http://home.earthlink.net/~mishal/phil1.html

Is there an already existing translation for this story?

How about swapping Philip for Ignacio and having 'Ignacio Inquieto'

@Learningspanish - Hey, nice play on words!

It's a good idea, the only thing is that I need to check if somebody already translated it directly from the original German...

I've seen "inquieto Philip" in a google search... and in the context where I need to use it, that probably works...

Other ideas or comments are also welcome... but yours is definitely full of wit!
