$dir = Get-ChildItem -Path "path to source folder with name you want to copy"
for ($i = 0 ; $i -le (Get-ChildItem -Path "destination folder where you are renaming" | Measure-Object).Count ; $i++) {
    Get-ChildItem -Path "destination folder where you are renaming" | 
    Select-Object -Index $i | 
    Rename-Item -NewName $dir[$i]
}
