The name Musa paradisiaca is invalid, but yes...it is looking like a plantain banana, but keep posting more photos as it develops. A plantain is a specific type of banana which belongs to the Plantain Subgroup with an AAB genome. Generally they are used as cooking bananas, but not all cooking bananas are plantains. Not all AAB bananas are plantains either.
