I love it and always have because it just fits me. I couldn't think of any name that'd be better for me, even though I always had loooooots of trouble with it.
In Germany, the name wasn't very widely known until a few years ago. People expected me to either be Asian or a guy (it's a unisex name here) when they heard it.
As I said, it was a more or less unusual name up until a few years ago and I got teased about it a lot, but even then I loved it. To this day, I've only ever met 2 other Kims. I am more bothered by my three middle names: Sabrina Jennifer Blanka. I don't like any of them, least of all Blanka. Still, I wouldn't change them... they're part of me, and my parents chose those names with the best intentions and after lots of consideration. They thought that if I didn't grow up to like Kim, I could just choose one of my other names.
Also, my brothers name is Kai. So Kai and Kim, yeah I know, most people here hate matchy names. But seriously, it's about the only thing that connects us and makes people think we're siblings. Even if I didn't like my name, I wouldn't change it just because it ties me to my brother's name.

TL;DR: Yeah, I like my name :>
