Like I said above, Spanner being a named inspired by Ben's stories will just make a paradox. Because Kenny was spanner, and if Kenny took the name Spanner from stories of Spanner which is himself, that's going to create a problem in the Space Time because it is similar to telling the past about the future, or killing your parents in the past.

If you kill your parents in the past, you will not exist, therefore you will not be able to go back to the past and kill them. That would mean they would meet again and you will be born and the same event will happen. This is what's called a Paradox. It's like a Time loop. To fix a paradox you have to stop the person responsible. In this case it's the one who killed his parents, either he should be killed or he should be stopped.

Same goes for the theory of Kenny getting the name of Spanner, from a story about himself, a Paradox is inescapable so it has to be stopped, by stopping Kenny or killing him. This is what's difficult in time travels.
