según las referencias que he encontrado lo de "named after" no es correcto, sino que se trata de "named by".
In the summer of 1910, Jack Nelson, a surveyor for the Howe Sound and Northern Railway, and his axeman, Bob Mollison came upon a spectacular waterfall plunging into a rocky gorge near their campsite at Daisy Lake. Being surveyors they speculated on the height of the falls, and being betting men Nelson wagered his bottle of brandy against Mollison’s bottle of wine – closest estimate to the measured height takes all.
