More info
If you want to check out the other options available, open Automator and open the file renamer script to explore the other options. By default, the script will rename the files in a sequential manner using the 'new name' you provide and will append a 3 digit number at the end of the file, using dashes to separate the name from the numbers.
The main options really are about the way in which each file is renamed, but the other options can be handy as well. Add date or Time to your files, Add some text, change between upper case and lower case, or Replace part of the name with 'replace text'.
Here's a quick video on how to batch rename files on your mac using this script.
