Can an incorrectly spelled name in iPhoto faces be corrected in all photos at once?

I misspelled the name of an individual in my iPhoto photos and would like to correct it as a batch rather than doing it in each individual photo. Is that a possibility?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), latest updates installed

Select "Faces" in the source list to the left, and then select the Face on the cork board. Click the name below the Faces stack and edit it. If the auto completions prevents correcting the typo, type first a completely different name, like "Mickey Mouse" and press enter. Then edit the name again and enter the correct name.
