Instead of writing out the entire answer, here's some guidance on a way of doing this:

1) Create a CustomAction in the EditControlBlock for the Page Content Type (or related) containing a UrlAction that goes to a custom ASPX Page, passing required parameters through the aforementioned UrlAction (look into {ListId} and {ItemId} tokens). In this ASPX page, have a field to enter the new Page Name, and then a button to complete the copy and return to the list.

Here is a good starting point:
