I don't see what you mean by weird unless you mean Åldrigkyrka but there's nothing really weird with that.

Okey I see now yes Möbil is indeed very strange. And Fästning Finska could, or rather, should be changed to Finska Fästningen or Fästning Finland.
Furthermore, more colonies
For example: For the Caribbean (where saints and such seems to be the way to go):
SWE;Heliga Birgitta;Carribean
SWE;S:t Magnhild;Carribean
SWE;Heliga Elin;Carribean
SWE;S:t Brynolf;Carribean
SWE;S:t Nikolaus af Linköping;Carribean
SWE;Helige Arild;Carribean
SWE;S:t Anna af Novgorod;Carribean
All of these have saint status in Sweden and they have existed.
And for Africa, these are actual names of colonies that under some time were owned by Sweden (even if not all were founded by swedes)
SWE;Gemoree faktori;Africa
SWE;Accara faktori;Africa #these two were taken from the Netherlands
SWE;Fort Carolusborg;Africa #also Karlsborg or Cape Coast Castle, english probably
SWE;Fort William;Africa #also Annamabo taken from England probably
SWE;Fort Batenstein;Africa #also Batensteyn
SWE;Fort Christiansborg;Africa #also Frederiksborg
SWE;Fort Witsen;Africa #also Taccorari
SWE;Fort Apollonia;Africa
All these were part of Cabo Corso (Ghana and suroundings)
North America, actual names of forts and such founded or conquered by Sweden.
SWE;Torne;North America
SWE;Nya Vasa;North America
SWE;Nya Korsholm;North America
SWE;Mölndal;North America
SWE;Fort Nassau;North America #netherlandish
SWE;Fort Uppland;North America #Fort Mecoponacka
SWE;Fort Trinity-Trefaldighet;North America #netherlands Fort Casimir
SWE;Fort Nya Älfsborg;North America
SWE;Nya Göteborg;North America
SWE;Nya Stockholm;North America
SWE;Swedesboro;North America
EDIT: I have not written down the colony names that already exist for Sweden.
Thanks, added them.
Is Fort also Fort in Swedish?
Yes it is. Slott is Castle, öh..what else? Ny is New, and Fort is Fort
Does Swedish, like English, take most of its middle ages military terms directly from French?
Sweden during this time was heavily influenced by germany and the Hansa, most historians even believe that the reason behind the reformation in Sweden was so that Gustav Vasa could confiscate the churches property to pay off his german mercenaries and money lenders. Which most of them of course had connections to the Hansa.Does Swedish, like English, take most of its middle ages military terms directly from French?
