Otherwise, Banana's not used as a name in Japan.
Basho, means banana-tree, and is the name of a famous 17thc. Japanese poet (I think it's also a pseud., though).
Chiquita is not a first name, it's a diminutive for chica= child in Spanish"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better"-Samuel Beckett
