I don't currently have time to do a bespoke script for you, you'll need to find or hire someone to write/modify a script. Most of it is there with existing scripts in circulation.
Give this a try. It combines the prompt script above and @Lumigraphics FilenamtoTitle script. Look for "Append Title" in the Tools menu.
Test it on some copy files first!
