On Kobo devices books can have a subtitle as well as a title. If a book has a subtitle then it is displayed in the device library as "Title - Subtitle". Changing the title in calibre has no effect on the subtitle.

I don't know if there is any way to change the subtitle from Calibre, but if you can edit the device's database ".kobo/KoboReader.sqlite" manually then you can remove the subtitle with this command:

Code:
UPDATE content SET SubTitle=NULL WHERE BookID IS NULL AND IsDownloaded=='true' AND Title=='Southern Charm';
