Herr Huib, can you be kind enough to give us a phonetical picture of the way your name sounds?
I remember a discussion long ago and we were all surprised to hear what it sounded like.
I remember it was something like "hi-up"?

I like your new handle. What does it mean?

You posted it at the same time.

Is the "ha" sound similar to "hi" or "hah"?

It's like in "hah".
Alfons was the name of one of my first cats. A roomate from college used to call him (her actually) Alfonsdepalfons. Had it only for a year before it was hit by a car and died. Changed my handle for privacy reasons. Not always clever to use your real name on the internet. People you don't want to might find out where you live or something.
The Blitz site seems to be rather secure though. Nothing of it shows up when I google my name.
Well enough about my humble person... let's game.
