John, Many will say this is a matter of personal preference. However, as a former volunteer at a Family History Center I have seen dozens of patrons attempt to submit names through Temple Ready for "unknown" ancestors because there was a "name" listed, even though the name was unknown. In some instances the surname is known but the given name is missing, so some submit names such as; "unknown Jones" or "unknown Johnson"
I think it is better to leave the space blank so you will know the information is missing and so you know further research is needed.
