Batch Rename Feature Classes?

Question

Is there a simple script to batch rename 100 feature classes all in the same geodatabase?  I want to add the word "County" to each Feature Class.

Sorry if this seems like a silly question, I'm pretty new to python!

Thanks!

1. Set your environment to your geodatabase.
2. Iterate through list of feature classes.
3. For each iteration rename the particular feature class.

Here's an example of using string formatting.new_name = '{0}_county'.format(fc)

Pretty straight forward.

Rename

I am trying that but receiving an error.  What would the script be to add "County" to the end of each feature class name?

Thanks!  Like I said, VERY new at this!
