How can you mass rename based on date on a MAC? Let me explain...

[VisualOddity]

Here is the situation for one folder specifically as an example.

I have a folder with pictures I have taken of my son. Said folder has somewhere well over 1700 shots. These all have different names, and I would like to name them w/ a date. Obviously that is far to many to name individually, and I can't do it in a normal bulk rename and have it name them w/ the date in the name. What I would like to do, or is ideal, is to have some sort of an ap that will rename them in mass, but will do it based on the date. For instance: Maybe I could set "Caleb" as a parameter, then it will go down the list and name them like this:

caleb-10-21-07
caleb-10-22-07-01
caleb-10-22-07-02
caleb-10-23-07
caleb-10-27-08
ect...

Does anyone know of a FREE solution to do this? I have lots of folders to do this with, but the ones w/ my kids are the big ones...

Also, I wasn't sure what section to put this in, so if this isn't right, feel free to move it.

And thanks for any help!


In case it matters, the Mac is a:
MacBook
2.4 Core-Duo
Mac OS X 10.5.4
2gb RAM...

I would think Automator would do it- comes with every mac. I've never messed with it but I bet you could figure it out pretty simply.
Try these for info:

Thanks for the input!
I found a great way to do it a minute ago. Adobe Bridge! Works like a charm! :)
