The answer

Swearing by divorce (الحلف بالطلاق) falls under the purview of conditional divorce (الطلاق المعلق). Therefore, according to the majority of scholars, divorce occurs when the oath is broken, whether the one swearing intended divorce or intended urging or preventing something. So, if you did not fulfill your oath, divorce has occurred. Anger does not prevent the occurrence of divorce unless the person is unaware of what he is saying. One should be wary of swearing by divorce and of anger. There is no objection to naming (a child) "Hattan."
