Here's some more colony names for New Sweden from wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sweden, presented there as 'Permanent Settlements':
Finland, Finlandia, or Chamassungh (1641 & 1643; modern Marcus Hook, Penn.) -- I think Finlandia or Chamassungh are better names
Printztorp (1643; modern Chester, Penn.)
Tequirassy (1643; modern Eddystone, Penn.)
Tenakonk or Tinicum (1643; modern Tinicum, Penn.)
Provins, Druweeÿland, or Manaiping (1643; modern southwest Philadelphia, Penn., on Province Island on the Schuylkill River)
Minquas or Minqua's Island (1644; modern southwest Philadelphia, Penn.)
Kingsessing (1644; modern southwest Philadelphia, Penn.)
Mölndal (1645; modern Yeadon, Penn.)
Sveaborg[28][29] (c. 1649; modern Swedesboro, N.J.) -- You already have Swedesboro but this is the original name.
Sidoland (1654; modern Wilmington, Del.)
Översidolandet (1654; modern Wilmington, Del.)
Timmerön or Timber Island (1654; modern Wilmington, Del.)
Strandviken (1654; modern Wilmington, Del.)
Ammansland (1654; modern Darby, Penn.)
I see that you have both Fort Apollonia and Apollonia. Other places are known with and without the 'Fort' prefix such as Fort Casimir & Casimir, and Fort Christina & Christina. We probably should have one or the other, but not both.
