Making a guess in indexing

In indexing, when a scribbled name is essentially illegible, is it better to mark it as UNREADABLE, or put an asterisk, or actually make a guess that might not be accurate? Which would be more helpful for people trying to find their ancestors?

    See link below that contains a Knowledge Article that provides some good suggestions when confronted with unreadable writing when Indexing. I hope you find it useful.
