I need help merging two contacts in my photos app. I have the same contact under two different names (actually, one just includes the middle name) with photos associated with each one. I would like the app to recognize that these two people are actually the same. Any recommendations? Right now, it looks like I would need to edit each photo, one by one, so that the names are consistent on all photos. That's seems lame and would take me far too long. Any help would be great! Thank you.

Just to clarify, it is the faces under the names that I am referring to. The faces are identified on some photos as one name, on others as another. So a search of one name will not produce the photos where the face is identified under the other name.

Have you tried adding or removing the middle name?

If you select People in the sidebar, then select either name and add or remove the middle name.
