You first create your list.

List<GameObject> unityGameObjects = new List<GameObject>();

You need to have a reference to the GameObject you which to add to the list. You can do this by looking for the GameObject or by creating a new instances of it.

Looking for the GameObject

GameObject g = GameObject.Find("NameOfGameObject");
unityGameObjects.Add(g);

Creating a new instance

You can't call new on GameObjects because they are MonoBehaviours but you can instantiate them from a prefab.

GameObject g = Instantiate(prefab);
unityGameObjects.Add(g);

MyList.AddRange( new List<GameObject> { new GameObject { name = "Frank", tag = "3" ,layer= 2, active = isActiveAndEnabled, hideFlags =  HideFlags.HideInHierarchy, isStatic = false },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Jill", tag = "3" },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Dave", tag = "5" },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Jack", tag = "8" },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Judith", tag = "12" },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Robert", tag = "14" },
                                       new GameObject { name = "Adam", tag = "1" } } );

Welcome to Stack Overflow and thank you for answering the question. However, please make the effort to format your code nicely (I have done that for you here).

I found the solution for my question, thereby I'll ask my question, maybe it will be helpful for someone else:

 unityGameObjects.Add(GameObject.Find(unityObject.Value));
