A problem with Thread[]

Hello all,

Here is a snippet of code:

MyArcTan := Function[{x, y},
   Module[{result},
    If[x == 0 && y == 0,
     result = 0,
     result = ArcTan[x, y]
     ];
    result
    ]
   ];

In[725]:= Thread[MyArcTan[{-1, 0, 1}, 0]]

Out[725]= result$58407737

Somehow, when I thread my custom function MyArcTan[], it does not
execute the If[] test hence do not define the result...

How can I solve that ?

TIA
