My Possible Names

I'm a female-to-male transgender and this is the list of names that I might be called.

A name that sounds both arty and rough-and-tumble, Bastian can be used as either a short form or a stand-alone variant of elegant Sebastian. Also spelled as Bastien, Bastiaan, and Bastían, it notably appears in the German fantasy children's book, <em>The Neverending Story</em> , which features a young boy character called Bastian Balthlazar Bux.
<br><br/>Bastian has been enjoying recent popularity in Latin America, ranking highly in Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. Also familiar as a stand-alone name in Germany, France, and Denmark, it is slowly but steadily making its way up the US charts. A recent year saw it chosen for 224 boys: the highest number of American Bastians born in a single year since records began.
