You can do this. Look at ebook-convert (http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...k-convert.html). You specify the output file name on the command line, and it can be whatever you want.

You might want to look generating a file of command lines, using an editor to carve the metadata from the file names and create the appropriate options. That way you can set the author and title metadata inside the book. This will help when using readers that get info from the book instead of the file name.
