What I don't like about using the word "Un-named" is that it suggests
the person was not given a name. They most likely were if they lived
longer than a few days, but at this juncture from this point of view
it's UNKNOWN. Are the reports at all flexible about which word can be
used or do I have to do a Search & Replace in a text editor?

the narrative will read out on the reports...
Un-named Smith was a child of Jane Jones and John Smith born 1920
died 1920 (stillborn).
Legacy is intelligent enough to handle it when you print reports.
I also have better luck with familysearch.org when I leave the unknown
stuff blanked out like this.

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?
