Very interesting.
Decades later, we may discover that Madame et Monsieur Thibault had a son named Brian! :D
Alas, this one does not sound funny.
Hint: "Monsieur et Madame <place family name here> ont un fils, comment s'appelle-t-il ?" or "Monsieur et Madame <place 
family name here> ont une fille, comment s'appelle-t-elle ?" is a well-known pun game, to be eventually compared to the 
English "knock-knock" joke.

As for the seal:

phoque: \fɔk\
the other word: \fœk\ ou \fɔk\
Honestly, to this day, I only knew the first way of saying it. I surely have already heard the other pronunciation but 
have not taken too much attention to it. Should I thank you for this lesson? o:)
