Best method if you don't know surname/forename?

Hello all,

Quick question: if one does not know a surname or forename they are entering into their tree in FTM, what is the best method of entry? For example, if you know the last name is Smith but the forename is unknown, would it be:

? Smith
Unknown Smith
etc.

Thanks.
