Why is your username Chopinski?
Here, I am called it because it is the name with which @franzliszt-official used to summon me.
In my living existence, it was a nickname I was occasionally given, for instance by Maria Wodzińska. Firstly, it sounds rather sweeter than Chopin. Secondly, it was a way of establishing my Polish identity among the well-off Parisian milieu. They wished to claim me for themselves due to my father’s frenchness. But I maintain my Polish connections always! So my compatriots occasionally addressed me as such.
