MACY DOESNT KNOW RUSSIAN??
Fleamont and Euphemia moved to the UK as adults, so James grew up speaking mostly Punjabi at home, his parents never being particularly confident in their English skills and being much more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue.
So whilst he is fluent in English, occasionally he will forget a word or phrase and he will say it in Punjabi first. This happens a lot in first year especially, and again at the beginning of each school year as he adjusts after a summer barely speaking English.
The other marauders find this hilarious so over time it becomes a game for them where James will act out the word charades style for everyone to try to guess.
When Regulus moves in with the Potters and joins the group, he initially doesn't want to join in the game but very quickly becomes unbeatable.
Everyone just assumes that it's just one of those things he's good at because he's weirdly clever so they don't question it too much.
Until one day James overhears Regulus talking to Fleamont in fluent Punjabi and he realises he learned a whole language, just so that his parents can have one more person in their home that they can speak to in their own language.
That is the day James Potter starts to fall in love with Regulus Black

Mine aren't that interesting lol
My mum calls me samak (سمكة) which is fish in arabic because it sounds like my name. She doesn't usually call me that anymore but she calls me other things that sound like that
Although my other relatives on my dad side used to call me fish in kurdish because I drank a lot of water lol
