I have multiple fgdb with many feature classes.

I am importing them to my PostGIS and this is the code i used

ogr2ogr -overwrite -progress -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=postgres^" MY.gdb

Yet the table names in my PostGIS comes same as my fgdb feature classes. I want to add prefix when I am importing them to PostGIS like "buliding" feature class in FGDB becomes Test_building in PostGIS

"-nln" option does not seem to have that function (or I just can't find?)

The -nln option works on individual layers, so you would have to split your import into several commands

ogr2ogr -overwrite -progress -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=localhost port=5432 
  dbname=postgres user=postgres password=postgres^" 
  MY.gdb building -nln Test_building

Alternatively, you can import the entire FGDB and rename the layers inside the PostgresDB; or you can create a test schema and import your tables, with the original names, in this specific schema.
