The answer is no. The subject of くれる always has to be a giver, and its receiver is generally the speaker. On the other hand, the subject of もらう should be a receiver. I know these differences confuse you because Japanese often skips a sentence subject. In the examples below, the first phrases are all the sentence subjects. わたしは、かのじょに　お金をあげる : legit // わたし=giver : かのじょ=receiver かのじょは、わたしに　お金をあげる : not legit かのじょは、わたしに　お金をくれる : legit // かのじょ=giver : わたし=receiver わたしは、かのじょに、お金をくれる : not legit. わたしは、かのじょから　お金をもらう : legit. // かのじょ=giver : わたし=receiver かのじょは、わたしから　お金をもらう : legit. // わたし=giver : かのじょ=receiver
