    I'd consider using another domain name.

    I know that it's prudish of me to say, and I hate that about corpoate life, but I believe that a lot of people get turned off by the wrong domain name. In your case does an HR dept want to hire someone who flirts all day?

    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.™

    I'm pretty sure that I got passed over jobs in the past with my crazywicked dot com domain, and I used to say 'if they don't hire me because of that, I don't want to work there.' I soon realized that I was being stupid and changed my domain because I didn't want to scare people off imediatley by my domain. Since then, I've at least interviewed for every job I've applied to.

    Sometimes it can work if you have a concept tied into the domain name...
