Unfortunately I haven't been able to fix it yet. I updated the names in Calibre, but CC keeps calling them "S" (.mobi and .azw3) so it kicks out the "duplicate". I've tried reloading the books in Calibre, updating the name, reloading in CC, and they keep getting saved as "S" (.mobi and .azw3).

I thought about changing the settings to use the book ID as a filename instead, but I started with this setting and my searches in the Fire didn't work properly for some reason. I may have to switch back to that though. Hopefully this helps someone else who runs into this problem as well, I couldn't find anything about it when I searched.
Are you sending these books using the wireless device connection? If so, then the file name is controlled by calibre. You can see the template that calibre uses if you connect then click on the down arrow on the device icon and choose "Configure this device". Normally it is something like title - author.

Note that if you change the template in Preferences / Send to device then that template might take precedence. Check it as well.

EDIT: using the UUID as the file name will probably fix things, but it would be good to know why the templates are producing names of one letter.
