Apr 10, 2016 10:07 AM in response to LarryHNby desborough,Added profile picture,
In faces when you double click a suggested face from the bottom row,and start to type a name in the box(Joe Bloggs) a drop down menu displays some suggested names (some of which are accidentally spelt wrong,and have no picture in the circle)
I want to use a certain name Joe Bloggs,but the computer always picks up the incorrectly spelt name of Joe bloggs,
Incorrectly spelt I mean lower case surname instead of the typed capital surname.

Apr 17, 2016 7:23 AM in response to desboroughby léonie,★HelpfulRight now the only way to get rid of incorrectly spelled faces names in the list of suggested faces is to create a new Photos Library and to start over. The suggested names are stored somewhere in the Photos Library. For a new library the list will be empty. But that would be rather drastic.
,latest was that they are looking into this and might include a fix in an update sometime.
I hope, sometime will be soon, perhaps with the next MacOs X version.

Apr 18, 2016 12:47 PM in response to léonieby Rysz,I'm just speculating here and, since I'm not at my computer to test this, I might be way off, but...
Is it possible that the "misspelled" name is pulled from the user's Contacts app?

The misspelled name vanishes from the suggestions, as soon as I am switching to a different Photos Library, so I am sure, the name suggestions are stored in the library. When I am switching back to the original library, all the misspelled names are back. But the Contacts will always show in the suggestions. If a wrong name is in the Contacts, it can be corrected there.

Apr 18, 2016 1:29 PM in response to léonieby desborough,I corrected the names in the contacts,but, this did not work,somehow it is still dragging the incorrect name out from somewhere? still thinking about a new / different photo library,will I have to clear all metadata / faces from original photo library?
