using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class GOList : MonoBehaviour 
{
	List<GameObject> goList = new List<GameObject>();
	string nameToAdd = "Cube";
	
	void Start()
	{
		foreach(GameObject go in GameObject.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject)))
		{
			if(go.name == nameToAdd)
				goList.Add (go);
		}
		
		print (goList.Count);
	}
}

you could use Linq if you’re using C#

using System.Linq;

GameObject[] objs = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject)).Select(g => g as GameObject).Where(g => g.name == "desired name").ToArray();

or, if you wanted it to be put in a list, you would do the exact same thing except create a List and end your Linq Query with .ToList() rather than .ToArray()
