Install the mmv package and read the man page, then issue the command:

mmv -n '*' '#l1'

which will show you what it will do without actually doing it(-n
option). If it is doing what you want then remove the -n and run it.

As an example:

%mmv -n '*' '#l1'
AMM.M -> amm.m
PROP_IN.M -> prop_in.m
STARTP.M -> startp.m

%mmv -v '*' '#l1'
AMM.M -> amm.m : done
PROP_IN.M -> prop_in.m : done
STARTP.M -> startp.m : done
