Batch rename photos from a text file?

Is there a prog or app that can do this.

I have a folder of say 400 pics with default file names DSCF0001.jpg - DSCF0400.jpg.

I need to rename them and don't want to do each one individually so wondered if a prog was the best way to go. I figured it was quicker cutting and pasting the new file names into one text file or excel document and have the prog or app do it. Ideally, if I can pull in the datestamp from the exif data into the filename also then great.

Associated file names are sporadic and don't really follow a sequence.

DSCF0001.jpg - boat1.jpg

DSCF0002.jpg - house1.jpg

DSCF0003.jpg - car1.jpg

DSCF0004.jpg - house3.jpg

DSCF0005.jpg - hotel1.jpg

DSCF0006.jpg - boat2.jpg
