I suspect this is a Kindle-related problem, more than a Calibre-related. I don't know what information Kindle displays. But it seems that it isn't the filename.
It isn't a Kindle problem it's a Kindle feature. Like most ereaders Kindle displays the title that is listed in the metadata and not the file name. Currently there is no template that will insert the series and index into the metadata title.

@PCreighton either of the following 2 options might help

1. Create a catalog of all of your books by using the drop down arrow to the right of the convert books icon. Keep this mobi on your device and refer to the order whenever you have doubts.

2. Convert each book with the Insert metadata as page at start of book checked under Preferences - Conversion - Structure detection. This will insert a book jacket like the attached as the first page past the cover in your book.
