Why does 'Case' still sound like a cyberpunk name? It's like it's perpetually from five to ten years in the future.

Because not a lot of parents from the cyberpunk reading generation ran out to name their kids "Case". I mean if Case McGraw had grown up now to be a top NFL Quarterback, Case would not immediately raise connections to cyberpunk in your mind.
