Need Help with 3 Swedish Birth Records
I believe the record below is for Sven Parsson, born in Orakull, but who were his parents? (Bredaryd Jönköping, C: 1, 1688-1757, p.188). Also, the entry immediately below seems to be for a boy with the same name. Is this just coincidence, or are the entries somehow related?
In the birth record below I think Ingrid Jönsdotter's parents are Jöns Jönsson and Kirstin Parsdotter(?). What is the place name? (Bredaryd, Jönköping, C: 1, 1688-1757, p. 196).
In the last record below I see Kirstin born to Jöns. What are the full parent's names and places from? (Bredaryd, Jönköping, C: 1, 1688-1757, p. 115). Thank you!!!

In Scandinavia (and most of Europe), because of their restrictive naming customs, people in the same parish often had the same names, and even couples would have the same names as other couples. (Try googling the topic Swedish Naming Customs.) In your first image, the 2 infants with the same name are 2 different individuals, born and christened on different days. The first infant is Sven (Svån) Pehrson, son of Pehr and Kirstin, born 22 Nov and christened 27 Nov. I don't see any surnames for the parents, and since I don't read much Swedish maybe someone else can give you more information.
Still on the same image, the 2nd infant is Sven Pehrson, son of Pehr Svenson and Kirstin Jönsdr. Born 6 Dec, christened 11 Dec.

I agree with @Melanie Fackrell about all the information in you first image. I would only add that the second child was born at Arfvidabo.
The second image is for the birth of Ingiard Jönsdotter who was born in Skogen and her parents are Jöns Jönsson and Kirstin Pehrsdotter.
In the third image, I believe the father is Centh and the mother is Ingiar. Their surnames are not in the record. The place is Arvidabo.
The Family Search Wiki has a web-page for most parishes which has a listing of the places in the parish. For difficult to read records (like these) you may be able to figure out the place names even if you can only read a few letters.
The place "Skogen" is a good example of this. I was only able to be sure about the "ogen", so I opened up a search box (Control + f for pc's or Command + f for Macs) and type in "ogen" and all words with "ogen" in them will be highlighted. Then just look through the choices and you can find the correct place most of the time. The page for Bredaryd is here: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Bredaryd_Parish,_Jönköping,_Sweden_Genealogy .
For difficult to decipher names of people, I like to use this site: https://www.nordicnames.de/namefinder/ . Again you can just enter what you can read at the beginning and/or end of the name and you can often figure out the name. I had never heard of the name "Centh" before, but it seems to fit what the record is saying.
