Don't replace, but copy

I want to change the name of many different images in different folders. The new name will be "project" and it will be the same for all the images. But I don't want o replace the original image. Instead I want to create an image in the same folder with a name "project". This has to be done for about 200 folders. Can I do that?

Wish you'd posted how you did that. I'll find it, I'm sure, soon enough, but that might have helped me. Thx.
