Are you dealing with a lot of data or just a small amount of data?

Also, why exactly do you want to do this type of naming convention? The answer to that will let us know if there might be a simpler way to achieve the desired result.

How about press CTRL+F then chose replace and write your the value that you need to replace with which you want to change it to.

I hope that what are you looking 4
