I think I have mentioned this before - but I have created several 'people' with the first name "an unknown" and surname "man" (without the quotes). I always create a new person when I need to use this, otherwise it would show that "an unknown man" had several different children with different women. This way the reports read correctly. I do believe you would have to have options set to leave names exactly as you type them, otherwise you could end up with capitals where you don't want them. I change wording so sentences read - "Mary had a child with an unknown man". I only use this when it is a case of single mother, not when I just don't know the father's name. In a similar fashion you could create a person called "a sperm" "donor" or "an unnamed" "man", whatever else fits the actual situation.
