וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת רֵעֵי אִיּוֹב אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַבָּאָה עָלָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ אִישׁ מִמְּקֹמוֹ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וְצוֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ יַחְדָּו לָבוֹא לָנֽוּד־לוֹ וּֽלְנַחֲמֽוֹ
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.
וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וַיֹאמַֽר
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
וַיֵּלְכוּ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּֽימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהוָה וַיִּשָּׂא יְהוָה אֶת־פְּנֵי אִיּֽוֹב
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them; and the LORD accepted Job.

A spelling is not a name. The written word בלדד stands 3 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns. It is here, as itself.
