Looking for a script that will rename all artboards according to their child content's name.

Really hoping someone can point me to the right direction. Here's an example case:

Rather than rename each artboard one by one, I am hoping there is a script out there that can rename each artboard according to the name of its contents. I can envision an edge case where an arboard contains more than one named object - and in this case just picking the first name should be sufficient..

Does anyone have a script? Can I pay someone to create it?

Thanks so much,
Jay

There were several similar requests. I have created a script for this task "RenameArtboardAsTopObj"

var doc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.artboards.length; i++) {
    doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);
    doc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
    doc.artboards[i].name = doc.selection[0].parent.name;
}
