I would fix the file names to match the pattern I have selected in the Add Books config.

File renamers are a dime a dozen, some have regex facilities, almost all feature a preview and many have an exclude.

If I wanted to retain the existing filenames, I would create hardlinks, rename and add them to calibre and then trash 'em.
