No, because that isn't the "name", it is ancillary (custom) metadata.

I can't remember offhand whether it checks the author in addition to title, but a custom "version" column most certainly doesn't qualify as a "name", and I also promise you that the calibre developer will not be persuaded to check even other builtin columns, let alone custom columns.

Also, filename is irrelevant. By default, calibre derives metadata from the embedded metadata, NOT the filename. You can change that in preferences, but calibre doesn't support deriving custom columns from the filename anyway.
