Find the closest of two named gameobjects?

I would like to target the closest of two named gameobjects. For example, one enemy is called enemy1, and the other is called enemy2. How can I do something like this:

 If (enemy1 distance from me < enemy2 distance from me) {
 target = enemy1
 }
 
 else if (enemy2 distance from me < enemy1 distance from me) {
 target = enemy2
 }

Any idea how? Thanks
