If you live in a conservative area, it would probably be more difficult to be named Grimm than if you live in an area where people are more open to unusual and eccentric names. In general, I think it would be better as a middle name. Even if it works in a small, open-minded town, there's the chance that Grimm will want to move elsewhere when he grows up. People might see it on job applications and pass him up because the name reminds them of the word "grim" or of Grimms' fairy tales, which might have freaked them out when they were kids. If it's just his middle name, they'd probably be more inclined to just think that maybe it was a family name or perhaps his mother's maiden name and not think much of it.

With that said, I think it's a cool name. I think of the Brothers Grimm, but that association doesn't bother me. My taste seems to be different from most other people's, though.
