The name is
Jafe :D
Starts with ein affirmation, ends with a metal.
Affirmation is "ja" (means "yes" in German), and Fe is a metal (iron)
Middle is a vulgar intensifier
af ("as f***")
Edit:
I am intrigued by the last clue, but figuring anything out is difficult since
we don't know for sure where the word "banana" came from - apparently it was originally an Arabic word, then integrated into a west-African language, and was finally introduced to us through Spanish and Portuguese :)
