Here is the best version [1] so far because
I got away with the redundant input data and
you then use the `query-replace' interface
(indeed the very function) which is better than
the crude `yes-or-no-p'.

(defun replace-list-ask-3 (dict)
  (let ((re (string-join (mapcar #'car dict) "\\|")))
    (save-excursion
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (while (re-search-forward re nil t)
        (let*((match-string (match-string-no-properties 0))
              (default (cdr (assoc match-string dict))) )
          (when default
            (query-replace match-string default nil
                           (match-beginning 0)
                           (match-end       0) )))))))

;; (replace-list-ask-3 '(("james" . "James") ("blish" . "Blish")))
