The odd names are Amazon downloaded books or Amazon freebies. The are named with their ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number). Kindle for Android (K4A) does not require that files have those names. Unless you changed the send template in calibre, files sent through CC will be named "Title - Author.mobi".

If you open CC's settings, go to Formats and Folders, then tap on the "mobi" line, you will be given a directory browser that will let you tell CC to store mobi-format books in the kindle directory. Once you do that then K4A will be offered as a reading app in CC. You will still need to find the book in K4A's library, but that won't be hard if you don't have many books.
