It is normal to use a hyphen.
I see it all the time.
For puns/jokes.
For academic writing where the purpose is to emphasize etymology (when the crux of the argument requires redefining or reemphasizing certain words).
For political writing to focus on certain meanings.
And just plain old dialect to show how a character is pronouncing a word.
Changing the spelling of a word to render the phonetics as needed is also acceptable in certain contexts. Though in this specific example, I'd prefer "bah-roke" to "bahroke."
