Caitlyn Jenner, aka Bruce Jenner, shared that she didn't pick a name with 'K' as she wanted a clean break from the Kardashian moniker.

A source informed that the American reality star wanted to make it clear to her family as well as everyone else, that she was her own person, TMZ.com reported.

The insider added that the 65-year-old TV personality had never been her own person before, and now when she finally got the chance, she wanted to portray her personality.

Becoming part of the Kardashian brood would undermine Jenner's goal, said the source.
