How did Vin Diesel get his name?

Did he just take some random words from a DMV form like:

VIN_____ (vehicle identification no.)

Wiki says;
Sinclair began going by his stage name "Vin Diesel" while working as a bouncer at the New York nightclub Tunnel, wanting a tougher sounding name for his occupation. Vin comes from his mother's married last name Vincent, while the surname Diesel came from his friends due to his tendency to be energetic
BluntSm0ker · 100+, M
He passed on VinGas & VinPetrol
H1raeth · 41-45, M
He saw those big black diesel trains and thought "Damn, that's hella cool, let's use that"
And I don't blame him.
According to the Internet

Vin Diesel's real name is Mark Sinclair.

He created his stage name while working as a bouncer at a New York City nightclub in his teens to sound more intimidating.

The "Vin" comes from his stepfather's last name, Vincent, and "Diesel" was a nickname given to him by friends because of his nonstop energy.
