Batch rename file names
Changing the names of files one by one can be a real nightmare. NameChanger lets you batch modify names of files. The program is really easy to use: drag and drop the files you want to modify, select how to change the name.What I like about the program is that it reflects changes as you type them in for each name. If it's not what you're looking for you can change it anytime.NameChanger offers loads of ways to modify names including prepend, append, date, sequence and character removal. You can also use the program to create sequences, adding digits before or after the name.
You should be able to do pretty much the same modifications using AppleScripts, but would it be as easy to use? The advantage with NameChanger is how simple it works.

I do batch PDF printing of hundreds of documents using PDFwriter. The printed file names come out as "job_# Microsoft Word - filename.pdf". A simple regular expression replace using: "job_([0-9]+) Microsoft Word - " in NameChanger is a game changer. You can preview exactly what you are going to get. Seconds later hundreds of files are renamed. Easy. More

Great, but careful with the absence of an UNDO option..
Not having a UNDO option is actually a really dangerous thing. I almost had really big problems because of that. Fortunately, I copied the file folder to start using it. Everything else is absolutely great about the app.
Pros:
easy
intuitive
Cons:
don't have UNDO option
Really have do dela with this UNDO thing More

A Free Download! A Great Program! Don't Forget to Donate to Its Creator!!!.
I use this program constantly to change file names to organize my digital library of monthly scrapbooking collections. It has been a tremendous time saver....drag, drop, type, return, clear, that's it! It lets you see what the change will look like and, it's much easier than AppleScript.
Pros:
Versatile when you think through the what and how.
Doesn't require a lot of steps.
Does just what I want.
Easy to use.
Cons:
Wish I could undo More

excellent and powerful tool- very recommended.
excellent tool. very simple to use, very powerful and efficient. on of the best in this category.
Pros:
while you change the name of the files, you can see if the designated name is already taken, or you can go ahead an rename. in any case, name changer will let you know if you want to change to a name that is already in use More
