krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.

I use the bulk renamer from thunar https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/bulk-renamer/start

Why not just do this with a for loop in the terminal? I don’t think you need to over complicate it by downloading another program.
