https://github.com/cbreeden/fxhash is reasonably widely used. It doesn't have the security benefits of SipHash, however they are rather dubious in practice -- 64 bits of state is simply not enough to be secure, no matter the hash function (not to mention, real tables will not use the vast majority of those bits).

64 bits is plenty for avoiding hashdos attacks, though. Pretty much anything keyed is enough for that. What attacks are you talking about for a non-cryptographic hash function?
