I think #2 is my Cavendish, I believe he said it was dwarf so that is definitely the smallest!
1&3 still not sure!

the one with the violet color below the leaf looks very much like a chini champa to me (got one, bit bigger than this, I love that color)

1 and 2 both look like some kind of Cavendish. No idea about 3. 4 is definitely Mysore.

They are all Musa. Musa is the name of the genus that contains all edible bananas. For example, dwarf Cavendish is Musa acuminata.
