According to the Name Field under Styles and Standards:

If the first or last name is unknown, use Unknown in the field. Do not use Not Sure, NN, Wife of X, Adopted, etc.

That would seem to indicate a change to Unknown should be made.

Thank you, I will change the profiles. I did not want to change something that would cause ripples down the way,
