How can I apply the name of the folder before the files name within that folder?

It might be as simple as this AppleScript which prompts you for the folder, and then prepends the folder name to each item in that folder.

1. Open Script Editor, and copy/paste the following code into it.
2. Click the Compile button, and then click the Run button.
3. Save the AppleScript as text and give it a useful name (e.g. prepend.applescript).

use scripting additions

set folder_name to (choose folder default location (path to desktop))

tell application "Finder"
	set the folder_list to (every item in folder folder_name) as alias list
	if folder_list = {} then return
	
	repeat with afile in folder_list
		set afile's name to (folder_name's name as text) & space & afile's name
	end repeat
end tell
return



Yes, by way of an Automator Quick Action (service) where you right-click on a folder, and choose Quick Action ▸ Quick Action name. For example, I have right-clicked on a folder named Jon Jones:

I gave the Quick Action an arbitrary name, and you certainly can make it shorter if you wish.

1. Launch Automator
   1. New Document. Quick Action. Choose.
2. Set the top part of the Quick Action panel to the following:
3. From the Library : Utilities, drag and drop the Run AppleScript action onto the right-hand workflow window
4. Open a new line above the on run handler to include use scripting additions
5. Replace this line (* Your script goes here *) with the following code

set folder_name to (input as text) as alias
	
	tell application "Finder"
		set the folder_list to (every item of folder folder_name) as alias list
		if folder_list = {} then return
		repeat with afile in folder_list
			set afile's name to (folder_name's name) & space & afile's name
		end repeat
	end tell

Click the compile (hammer) icon in the Run AppleScript Action, and then save the Quick Action with your own unique name for it. Quit Automator, right-click on your target folder, and use the first image menu structure to apply your Quick Action. The Automator Quick Action should look like the following when done:



This was tested on Mojave 10.14.6 (18G6042).

You are welcome.
