Changing the physical file names of the ebooks will have absolutely no effect on the title displayed on your Kindle's home screen... nor will it affect their sort order (PDF and text files may show the file name, I'm not really sure).

You need to edit the title in the ebook's metadata with something like calibre's metadata editor (or calibre plugboards) or Mobi2Mobi GUI or the Java Mobi Metadata Editor to accomplish your goals.
