I don't know what my name means, my names Vincent, if anyone here knows what it means.

Urm, the artist, maybe?

Edit: Saw above link.

Quote

The boy's name Vincent is pronounced VIN-sent. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "prevailing." From Vincentius. The name ultimately derives from the Latin verb "vincere", meaning "to conquer." Steadily used since the early Christian days. Saint Vincent de Paul, a 17th-century priest, founded an order of missionary brothers. The Saint Vincent de Paul Society, an international charitable organization, was founded in his honor in the 19th century. Vincenzo and Vincente are Italian forms; Vicente is Spanish. Painter Vincent Van Gogh; film director Vincente Minnelli; actors Vincent Gardenia, Vince Vaughn, Vin Diesel, Vincent D'Onofrio, Vinnie Jones; football coach Vince Lombardi; basketball player Vince Carter.
So, means prevailing, and has a latin origin, apparantly.

Paul = My dads name.
