Indeed in Quenya G, D and B never appear as single consonants, they are always accompanied by N, R or L.
When you meet names where those consonants appear without any other consonant next to them, your words are from Sindarin origin. So in that case you should use one of the Sindarin modes of the Tengwar (these modes are explained in the Sindarin course on this site; the Tengwar Sindarin can be learned without learning Sindarin itself).
