Mostly, and I think that wrath for rejecting his lead. He himself says:

Now, I think the bolded passages imply that Fëanor had thought them (the other Elves) useful and wanted them to follow him, but no more. The underlined phrase shows his bitterness and that he mainly burnt the ships because of "his anger of his name being cursed" (as you put it).
That's my opinion.
