protect shareware - replacing real names with bogus like "x3p2-_lde"

Hello,

I want to protect my shareware and I found several solutions for it.

One of them was for example that one should replace string-/varnames etc. like "MyString1" by bogus like "C339_3&s.*5G" for example, because if your software gets hacked then it is less readable for the hacker.

But how about replacing all your names in your source by some random-entries? Does there already exist some readymade software which can do this?
