If I understand that correctly, what you're looking for is actually textbook partial application or currying/schfinkeling. If you're using Ruby 1.9 you can use Proc#curry directly like so:

# unbind the method and convert it to Proc to use #curry
report = method(:Name).to_proc.curry[testcase]

# and later apply the second argument
report[result]

Alternatively, you can also implement partial application like this:

# define a lambda that that captures your test case in a closure so you can pass the result later
report = lambda { |result| Name(testcase, result) }

# later, execute the lambda with your result
report[result]

Note that in your case it is probably better to follow the advice posted by Jesus and Robert for a cleaner solution. It's just that functional programming is fun, and your question really seemed to call for partial application!
