Choose feed icon letters the same way abbreviations are usually chosen #689

The problem

Currently, for the feed icons, just the first 2 letters of the feed name are taken. This results in a sub-optimal experience, because usually, abbreviations take the first letter of each word delimited by a blank space.

For example, the feed "Washington Post" results in WA, instead of WP. "E-Commerce | The Guardian" becomes E-instead of EC. "Top Stories" is TO instead of TS. Etc. See this image:

The solution

The letters should be the first character of each word separated by a blank space or a -.

If there is no delimiter found, they should use just the first letter of the word (e. g. "Reuters" should be R instead of RE).
