One of the great things about using calibre to manage your library is its ability to create a filename for a new exported copy (Export = Save to Disk, Save to Device, ...) based on the metadata associated with the book and formatted using a user editable template.
I have, at differing times, wanted different filenaming patterns for my evolving "current favorite ereader (there have been several). It is simply a matter of changing the template(s) and plugboards (calibre has independent templates for Save to Device and Save to Disk).
Example: one of my past devices didn't support Series info. Since I kept a large number of unread books on that device I used a template and a plugboard that created an exported copy for my device that had the series name and number added to the title as a prefix in both the filename and the metadata "title". I've since changed devices and habits and it was extremely easy to edit the templates and plugboard to adapt to my new habits. There was no need for any massive renaming or bulk metadata edits as the core library in calibre is unchanged.
