How would you pronounce the family name Chabot ? (there are two different ways I heard in our region)

I hear both from people with that name: with or without the T pronounced.
But overwhelmingly it seems to be "shah-butt" that dominates in French Canada. The other one, "shah-bo", is considered a bit posh by some people.
In areas outside Quebec like Ottawa, Sudbury, Cornwall, Timmins, it's often pronounced "shah-bott" by anglophones.
Another name that has different pronunciations is Tardif. Sometimes the F is silent, sometimes it isn't. Depends on the region I think.
