I presume this is a standardisation tip. It's not law. You can choose
to follow or ignore. For some of the situations you give, you may
want to keep Unknown. For others I don't have trouble with a blank.
If something isn't filled in, it means it isn't known. I'd only put
Unknown or Unrecorded or Not Named when the information can never be known.
Others disagree strongly and like things like [--?--]

v.7 doesn't like people named Unknown either first name or
last. What to do instead? Son/Daughter works when the sex is
known. What for the unknowns? Could-Be-Either? What about unknown
first names of Husbands? Still Son? What's wrong with
Unknown? What for the unknown last names? Nothing?
