Destiny

Powershell version. Supports sub directories on the source and can handle duplicate names on destination.

Code:

$SourceDirectory = ".\SOURCE"
$DestinationDirectory = ".\DEST"

$Directories = Get-ChildItem -Path $DestinationDirectory -Directory
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceDirectory -File -Recurse
foreach($Dir in $Directories) {
    foreach($File in $Files) {
        if($File.Name -like "*$($Dir.Name)*") {
            if(Test-Path "$($Dir.FullName)\$($File.Name)") {
                $Items = Get-ChildItem -Path "$($Dir.FullName)" -File
                if($Items) {
                    $NewFileName = "$($File.Name.Split('.')[0])$($Items.Count)$($File.Extension)"
                    Move-Item -Path "$($File.FullName)" -Destination...

Does not work on subfolders, but this one liner should do the trick.

for /D %G in ("*") DO move %~nxG* %~nxG
