Q: Suggested Faces in Photos - Never ending?

I am new to photos so forgive my ignorance. I have spent several hours going through suggested faces in "photos". It feels like the suggested faces never ends. I have told "photos" who a face in pictures belong to several times and it keeps coming back.

    Does it ask about the face in exactly the same face over and over again? Then you may have imported the same face several times.

    If you have very similar Photos, Photos should suggest them automatically, when you open the Faces tile for the person from the Faces album.  Do you see "xxxx may be in additional photos", when you open the face from the Faces album?  Then click the "Add" button to speed things up.:

    It helps to quit Photos frequently while naming faces.  This way Photos will write all new named faces to the internal database and the next time you start it, it will use the names you assigned.
