Is there a way to batch-name photoshop files from an Excel (or other) list?

I have a couple hundred photos that need to be resized and named. I've got a PS action that resizes them, but is there a way to also have them pull the name from an Excel (or other type) of list?

I found this vbs script that will pull values from an excel file and paste them into a layer, so it's close... but not close enough for me to know how to reconfig it for my purposes.

I am on a Mac (OS X 10.8) and using Photoshop CS6 and Office 2011, if it matters.

Not many people use vbs, most here would save to a csv file then read and process it with JavaScript.

Well, it doesn't really matter if it's VBS or not. I just used that as an example of something that achieves a goal *close* to what I'm looking for, but not exactly.

To rename existing files does not require any app… You could actually just run a script in the ESTK and do this… As Paul has suggessed save the Excel out a another format and have script read the text file… CSV or TDT should be fine… Whats in the Excel document just 2 columns old name, new name…? I think an easy enough job but you would need to provide more info than you have done so far…
