how to get the button name from the auto-generate button

Unity Engine
1

i am doing auto-generate button. All the list gameobject is been list out as the name of the buttons. The number of the button depends on the the number of the gameobject.

Question:
What i need is, i need to make button listener for each of button. So, in my plan, i am thinking of getting the name of the button click, and it will do as what it suppose to do.

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

public class ListObject : MonoBehaviour {
    GameObject[] allObjects;
    int posbutton = 40;
    string listObject= "";
    //private Button myButton;
   
    void Start ()
    {
        allObjects = UnityEngine.Object.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject> ();
        Debug.Log ("Total Length: " + allObjects.Length.ToString ());
        Debug.Log ("LIST OBJECT");

    }

    void OnGUI()
    {
        // Make a background box
        GUI.Box(new Rect(10,10,200,25*allObjects.Length), "Loader Menu");

        //for loop to get the list object
        for(int x=0; x<allObjects.Length; x++)
        {
            listObject= allObjects[x].name;

            //auto-generate button position
            if(GUI.Button(new Rect(20,posbutton+(x*20),180,20), listObject))
            {
                //button will do something
                buttonListener(buttonName);
            }
        }
    }   

    void buttonListener(Button buttonName)
    {
        //if name==A, then do A
        //else if name==B, then do B
        //else, do C
    }
}

p/s: if there is any other way out of doing this, please let me know. thank u in advance.
