I have created an addon to automate the naming of meshes. When used, all meshes that are associated with an object will get renamed to have the same name as that object. If a mesh has multiple users, it will only be named once, when it is first encountered.
After it has checked through every object, it will report the number of meshes named through blender’s info output.
Screenshot of the button that gets added:

You can see the repository here and download the release:
Adding a prefix (or any other settings to how it renames things) shouldn’t be too hard, I imagine a simple pop-up menu when the function is activated is all that’s needed. I am only new to addon development so I don’t know too much about the details for this though.
