The beaming mum, 38, posted a picture of her holding her baby on social media to show fans the new addition to the family.
She told fans that the tot was born at 2.31am yesterday morning and revealed her name in the adorable post.
Posting on Instagram, Storm wrote: “And just like that… My heart has doubled in size.
“Welcome to the world little one.
“Sloan Blue Okan. 6.3lbs. Born March 15th, 02:31am”.
The photos quickly racked up more than 4,00 likes and 300 comments.

Fans flocked to the comments to offer their congratulations to the beaming parents as they added how much they love Sloan’s name.
One person said: “Congratulations Storm and family. Love Sloan’s name… Pair of cuties you have there. Enjoy the baby bubble.”
Another added: “Congrats to you all! She is her brother’s double”.
Someone else posted: “Congratulations, Sloan’s absolutely beautiful”.
While a fourth gushed: “Oh Storm! This is amazing news! Congratulations!”
And a fifth chimed in: “Congratulations to you all on the arrival of your new bundle of joy!”
The news comes after Storm opened up about the challenges of being pregnant last month.
She said: “Second pregnancies are tough. I don’t think we talk about it enough.
“My first pregnancy was a dream. I moaned about the occasional thing and I also had gestational diabetes, which wasn’t the best.
“But being pregnant and having to run around after a two-year-old is no mean feat.
“It should be an Olympic sport, which I would get nowhere near the podium in.”
Little Sloan has arrived less than three years after son Otis was born.
And Storm revealed that their daughter’s arrival could be a “rude awakening” for their son.
She said: “I’m just really hoping that Otis’s paternal instincts kick in and he wants to help mummy get bottles and nappies and do some of the hard slog.
“I don’t think he really understands what’s going on, he’s too young for that.
“He understands the concept of, ‘Oh I’m going to have a little sister’ and ‘There’s a baby in mummy’s belly’.
FAMILY LIFE
STORM also has revealed she wouldn’t rule out more babies – but said husband Kerr Okan wants to “shut up shop”.
She said: “I’d like to leave it open in terms of having more kids. And my husband would like that shop to shut, so the conversation continues.”
Storm, from Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow, married fellow Scot and former The LaFontaines rocker Kerr in 2021 — with Carol Smillie as their celebrant.
The couple, who got engaged in 2020, made it down the aisle at Loch Lomond before welcoming Otis a year later.
Although the mum went on to say that things can be challenging for them because they live hundreds of miles away from their families.
Storm, who lives in London with Kerr, Otis and now Sloan, said: “It’s really, really tough not having family nearby. When they say it takes a village to raise a child, they’re not kidding.
“Anyone that has in-laws and things around the corner that can help out, you have no idea how lucky you are.
“Any help that we get, we have to pay for, even if that is the in-laws coming down on a train.”
“I don’t think he understands the gravity of what that means for him in terms of less mummy-and-daddy time.
“I’m sure it’ll be a rude awakening when the baby arrives.”
After living in a house full of boys for the past two years, Storm is thrilled another girl will be joining them.
She said: “I’m looking forward to seeing the differences between boys and girls.
“I’m kind of a believer that we’re all the same until society gets involved and starts dictating how we should be behaving.
“So my husband and I want to treat them both exactly the same. We want to watch their little characters develop and see how much is society’s influence and how much is ours.
“That said, I’m going to put my hands up and say I’ve been indulging in pink baby wear.
“I wanted to go all unisex and do that whole gender-neutral thing, but little girls’ clothes are so pretty.”
