He refers to Anton Sr. who is Vincents father.
When he finds out his first son (Vincent) have a 99% of heart disorder and has 30 years life expectancy, his father regrets that he did not take advantage of the technology (picking superior genes of the parents for the baby) to make is son "more perfect". Therefore, he does not think his disordered baby (Vincent) is worthy of his name, Anton.
When they (Anton Sr. and Vincent's Mother) have a second baby and they actually use the technology to make the second son (Anton Jr.) "more perfect", they then name him Anton because that is the "best" genes of the family in their son. They also think that Anton will be more successful so they give him "the superior name".

An in-valid (also called "God-child" and "faith-birth") is someone born what is currently the normal way, rather than through genetic engineering.

In the movie Gattaca why was Vincent pretending to be Jerome Morrow?
In the movie "Gattaca" it is common for parents to engineer their children before birth and have them possess whatever favorable characteristics they favor, such as physical stamina or mental stability. Vncent was NOT engineered this way, but rather conceived naturally by his parents. He was born with a high probability of developing heart defects as a result (passed on genetically, we assume), and is seen as too imperfect to really succeed in such a society of perfect beings unlike himself. He buys Jerome's identity so that when screened he will appear to be perfect and will in turn have a chance at becoming an astronaut as he has always dreamed.
