Tropicana is a made up name - that seems to happen a lot in the banana world See;

Musa Super Dwarf Cavendish - Bananas Wiki

which also includes the Novak reference.

Little prince is different. Its an extreme dwarf cavendish variety originating from Randy Salter and is subject to a US patent (License needed for TC propagation).
