The next version of Photos will make batch changing possible. Then you will be able to change the titles and captions of multiple selected photos simply in the Info panel. Wait for the next Photos release to come with MacOS X 10.11 El Capitan. See: Apple — OS X El Capitan
Until then batch change the titles and captions in iPhoto before you import the photos Photos.
Or use one of the scripts we have posted in the User Tip section: Photos for Mac User Tips
For example:
Photos for Mac: Batch Change Title to Capture Date-Description-Padded Sequential Number
Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Descriptions
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Date and Time to a Fixed Date
Batch Changes in Photos for Mac: Change the titles to a Given String

You mentioned doing them in iPhotos 1st. Help the ignorant here. So you are saying that I should download them into iPhoto 1st, do what i want to do there and than transfer them over to photos. Is there an easier way?

Exactly. First import to iPho, add locations and batch change the titles, then export the versions and import them into Photos. Or wait till the next release.
