Does it need to be reliably repeatable? Does it have to preserve the relationships between and the statistics of the data?

If any of these is true investigate the Optim product from IBM (or another data masking product). Otherwise you're going to be re-inventing a whole lot of wheels.

We've had various conversations here on the topic and it really depends on what you mean by 'anonymise', probably 'masking' as Ray notes. For example, one such conversation is here.
