It is not a org solution but I'd recommend using multiple cursor by
Magnar Sveen of Emacs rocks.

In the case of above, do the following after properly installed mc:

 1. mark `Essay One'
 2. call `mc/mark-all-like-this'
 3. C-<Enter>
 4. Type 'Essay Two'

Viola! Now you have new `Essay Two' entries even if you already have
one. ;-p

My two cents,
