I like it. I feel like Sebastian is an under-appreciated gem of a name. I also pronounce it a bit differently than most Americans, I think. I prefer it pronounced seh-BAST-ee-en, instead of like seh-BAST-chen.
I love Sebastian/Sebastián but I think Sebastiana sounds too masculine (and too long).
I don't really like Sebastian / Sebastien. It just doesn't have an appealing sound to me.
For a girl I like Sebastiane, which I know you didn't list. Sebastiana is nice.

Sebastian was my dog's name and I really think it's quite handsome for a boy/man no matter which way it's spelled.
Sebastiana, otoh, seems almost heavy and over the top, imo. It does offer nice nn options such as Tia, Tiana or Ana. Sebastienne is equally over the top without the benefit of a good nn option. Just not feeling Seb, Sebbie or Bastienne for a girl.

I like Sebastian, it's very handsome. I much prefer the an ending to en. I don't like the female forms of the name at all.
