What is the correct way to enter unnamed children who have died?

So far, two babies in the same family have passed before their first birthday

    @ChristiansenMKay2 ChristiansenMKay2​ 

    .

    FYI

    .

    Only two (x2), so far ...

    I have a number of families with more than that ...

    Some died within, Minutes; or, Hours, of birth ...

    .

    In "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' ...

    .

    Simple ...

    .

    IF, an "Infant" DID NOT receive (ie. get given) a 'Given'/'Christian' Name(s); THEN, just leave the "First Name(s)" Field, "BLANK", you CERTAINLY do add/include a "Last Name(s)", in that Field; plus, NO need to include a "Title" such as "Master"; or, "Miss", leave the "Title" Field, "Blank".

    .

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    How should I enter names in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-to-enter-names-in-family-tree

    .

    Where it states (among other things):

    Quote

    ------------------

    Avoid invalid words ...

    .

    Words that are not usually names, such as “not named,” “unnamed,” “Mister,” “Wife,” "twin," or "Son." 

    ------------------

    .

    I hope this help

    .

    .

    ps: IF, you are referring to "Indexing"; THEN, let us know.
