And an advanced renamer will be needed in the detail operation. Anyone can free download and install the mass file renamer (Watermark Software) before head.
This is a preset photo renamer (also a cool image compressor), which has a block for batch renaming pictures on the main interface.

A deep look into [Settings] block in photo watermark, there are minor selective choices deserve our attention. First, paying attention to [Preset] in highlighted frame③, this is a selection to choose between adding extra digits and adding extra alphabets.

While checking "Start with Customized Filename", we are allowed to input an universal name in the blanket below. After that, we will see the images batch renaming to new ones, as below graphic shows.
