GreenEarth Inc is where I have ordered my bananas--they seem to be pretty good and reputable. The problem with common names is that anyone can give a plant a new name. I have read that the CA Gold is a variant of Orinoco that was found to be exceptionally cold tolerant. My Orinocos have survived some pretty extreme cold (the corms) with record cold here of 7F and 10F in 1990 and 1983 respectively. I have one blooming now that made it thru mid 20s three times last winter without protection.
