If you add a book to calibre, it will be renamed in the library according to calibres standards. There is a sticky thread explaining this. You can use save-to-disk to export the converted book to whatever name you want. If you need this, I would recommend the GetFileName to store the original file name in a custom column and use this in the save-to-disk template.

Alternatively, calibre has a suite of command-line tools. You can do the conversion with the appropriate tool and specify the output file name.
