Hi Kim again,
Anna Helena's father is also known as Petter Persson Löfgren, he took the name Löfgren perhaps because there were too many Petter Perssons. Anna Helena's real name was Anna Helena Pettersdotter (means daughter of Petter)Löfgren.  
Petter Nelly got the name Nelly when he became a soldier, his real name was Petter Andersson Junell. Often soldiers got a new name when they joined the army, even if they had unusual names like Junell. If a soldier lived in a soldiers cottage he could take the same name as the soldier who had lived in the cottage before him although they were not related to each other, the name followed the place where the soldier lived.  
I hope this will be a sufficient explanation for You.
With best wishes
John
