If that is all you want, have you considered SipHash? It is much faster than the other algorithms, yet more secure than CityHash, Murmurhash and friends. And it provides an IV/salt to make it per instance unique. https://131002.net/siphash/ Designed by DJB and Aumasson, the latter the designer of BLAKE and BLAKE2 which you referred.
