Regrettably I have been hearing this more and more these days as some self-proclaimed Christians are now refusing to call themselves "Christians" any longer. They are then opting to use words like "Rasta" or "Rastafarian" as a self-description. First of all, let's determine whether or not you are a Christian. Please go to the following link: http://www.lionofzion.com/faq/78da33040000320032/What+do+we+believe%3F.html
If you agree with the doctrinal statement on this page and can remember a time in your life when you asked God to forgive your sins and made Christ Lord of your life, then by the Bible's definition you are a Christian. Whether a Christian should call themselves a Rasta is a completely different issue that is addressed in another FAQ: http://www.lionofzion.com/faq/78da334e040000c90095/Should+Christians+call+themselves+%22Rastas%3F%22.html
The name Christian is only found in the Bible a few times. The first time that the disciples were formally called this name was in Acts 11:26b, "For a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch."
Contrary to your statement, the word Christian does not mean "Christ-like," though Christians should strive daily to be like Christ (an ultimately unattainable goal our present state).
In Greek the original word is "Christianos," and it simply means a Christian, i.e. follower of Christ, or adherent of Christ. Though the name Christians may have initially been imposed by the Gentiles, it was ultimately adopted by the disciples. Interestingly enough, the Latin termination -ianos, widely used throughout the empire, often designated the slaves of the one with whose name it was compounded. The apostles wrote of themselves as slaves or servants of Christ numerous times in the New Testament. Given this, the name could also imply that you are a slave of Christ.
My favorite passage on the matter is found in Acts 26:28-29:
"Then Agrippa said to Paul, 'Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?' Paul replied, 'Short time or long--I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."
It is clear here that Agrippa recognized that to believe what Paul preached would make him a Christian.
In your question you stated, "I don't really agree with using the title Christian for myself," sighting its bad stigma. So why not try and change that stigma by using the name in the right way and giving others a positive example of Christianity? Perhaps you are trying to simply avoid persecution. Did you know that Peter accepted the name as in itself a basis for persecution?
"If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" (1 Peter 4:15-18)
Did you read that? "As a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name." The name that you "don't really agree with using." Brother, DO NOT BE ASHAMED. If Christ is truly the Lord of your life then don't stop calling yourself a Christian.
We are all called to live in unity with the universal church (the body of Christ), not separate ourselves from it. No man is an island.
