I guess the second one correctly is "Strzelno" and this is real town on the border of Kuyavia-Pomerania and Greater-Poland.
"Strz" to "Szcz" is phonetic simplification, because "Szcz" is easier to say, but gramatically it's incorrect. However this simplification is typical for some regions of Poland.

I agree, but there are places called Szczelno too.
