Pinocchio

In Earth literature, Pinocchio was a wooden puppet who longed to become a real boy. 
In 2364, William T. Riker referred to Data as "Pinocchio" upon learning of Data's desire to be Human. () He recalled this moment while infected with Surata IV microbes. ()
When forced to argue the case that Data was only a machine in 2365, Riker referenced the name again to demonstrate that Data was not a living Human being, and having deactivated him said, "Pinocchio is broken. Its strings have been cut". ()
