Among the other suggestions that you have received you could also
install the mmv package. Great for mass renames, converstions, etc.
>From the man page:
DESCRIPTION
Mmv moves (or copies, appends, or links, as specified)
each source file matching a from pattern to the target
name specified by the to pattern. This multiple action is
performed safely, i.e. without any unexpected deletion of
files due to collisions of target names with existing
filenames or with other target names. Furthermore, before
doing anything, mmv attempts to detect any errors that
would result from the entire set of actions specified and
gives the user the choice of either proceeding by avoiding
the offending parts or aborting.
