If you really want that kind of interaction it is a trival shell script that wraps the mv command and can prompt the user for any number of things including "are you sure",, "again are you sure you want to move this file"
mv already *has* the -i option, and it does just what you describe.
The reason I proposed tacking on this other prompt to the same option is that:
(a) the option is called "--interactive" in full, and suggests that it controls *all* interactive behavior in "mv".
(b) it seemed ..
