    Fav - ee - Con is most used by non-english people. It is easyer to speak it.

    lol, I love czech language, its so simple to pronounce these words, we just say favicon shortly without "ees" and "eyes" :D
    ... pretty uncomfortable for language tongue, huh? :D

    Oh, no.;) I am English and I do prefer to say fave-icon.:D Guess there is simply no relation to nationality, just personal preferences.

    Yeah, I agree with everyone else. It makes sense to call it a Fave Icon.
