The correct answer depends on the time in which the word was used; from Greek inscriptions that had to display Latin words phonetically, we can conclude that a change in pronounciation has taken effect around the first century AD. If your “decerto” is from the time of the republic, indeed “da-KAIR-toh” is correct. If it was written later than 100 AD, it was most likely pronounced “da-CHAIR-toh”.

/ˈsuːdəˌnɪm/

This was my attempt to paste in the phonemic transcription - using the IPA alphabet. However, it appears that Yahoo! doesn't support these characters.

So, stress is on the first syllable with secondary stress on the last one. First syllable is pronounced as in the name, 'Sue'. Second syllable is pronounced as the 'd+neutral vowel (schwa, written as an 'e' upside down). Last syllable is as 'nim' in 'nimble'.

phonetic transcription — the system for writing the pronunciation of English words. Phonetic transcription is usually written in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Phonetic transcription is usually given in brackets, like this: /nou/, /du:/; or sometimes like this: [nou], [du:].

Try looking at
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pseudonym

[something like SU-d'-nim]

Note that the first syllable has the accent and
that the unaccented o is scarcely pronounced at all (like /d'/ NOT /dough/)

sue (as in I'm going to sue you; rhymes with you)
doe (rhymes with row and low and though)
nim (rhymes with limb and dim)

The stress is on the first syllable (SUE-doe-nym)
The p is silent, like in psychiatry.
